Relevant for people trying to get funding for a project:
People could consider writing up their project as a blog post on the forum see if they get any bites for funding. In general, I think I’d encourage people looking for funding to do more writing up one page summaries of what they would like to get funded. It would include things like:
Problem the project addresses
Why the solution the project proposes is the right one for the problem
Team and why they’re well suited to work on this
I’d guess if you write a post like this there’d be quite a few people happy to read that and answer if it sounds like something they’d be interested to fund / if they know anyone to pass it on to / what more they’d need to know to fund or pass it on. Whereas my perception is that currently people feeling out a potential project and whether it could get funded are much more likely to approach people to ask to get on a call, which is far more time consuming and doesn’t allow someone to quickly answer ‘this isn’t for me, but this other person might be interested’.
