This request has been entered into the 2017.12 tab of the BSQ stake and voting spreadsheet and is ready to be voted on.

I've voted +1 for this compensation request, but want to mention / ask about bisq-network/bisq#1091 bisq-network/bisq#1097, which have been merged to the UI-improvements but (so far as I understand) have not been merged to master. What do you think, @ripcurlx and @ManfredKarrer about how this fits with the idea of filing compensation requests only for completed work? If it's not in master, I'd say it's not complete, i.e. it may never make it in front of users.

[ManfredKarrer]

The downside with applying that is that there is more pressure to merge things to master (both time wise and risk wise) as the requester is waiting for getting compensated. No strong/clear opinion on that...

[ripcurlx]

Yes, I guess it depends how we want to have the workflow in the end. If we’ll have a development branch that has stuff in it that needs to be more tested before merged into master I think we could also include pull requests that are not merged into master yet. If we only want to have a master branch and everything that is committed into it has to be release ready than we might not include pull requests that are not merged into master in compensation requests.

[sqrrm]

I think the requirement of only compensating for merges to master might be too strict. For now I'll be voting yes for reasonable looking contributions. Could be that adds too much of a requirement to check the compensation requests though, the ones merged to master are guaranteed to be reviewed and accepted as good contributions.

Closing as complete. See bisq-network/dao#26.
