- A discussion started on October 9th to close Bounty 39 due to inactivity and lack of structure.
- The main concern is the lack of activity and deliverables over 8 months.
- Ingo Rube suggested closing the bounty and proposed alternatives like centralized coordination or experienced teams.
- Most comments agreed on the lack of activity as the main reason to close the bounty.
- A counterproposal is live to redesign the BD bounty with a new team.
- Saxemberg supports closing Bounty 39 and opposes the counterproposal, believing BD is not suited for a bounty in its current form.
- They argue that BD on Polkadot should not be managed by a single team due to diverse skills and goals.
- Past efforts have varied in success, and the current counterproposal does not guarantee better results.
