  • If you're not doing the work, why bother proposing that someone propose a grant proposal? Why not just say, "I'd like someone to take over this module, and additionally, I think it might make a decent grant proposal"?

    • Hi!

      If you're not doing the work, why bother proposing that someone propose a grant proposal? Why not just say, "I'd like someone to take over this module, and additionally, I think it might make a decent grant proposal"?

      I don't really understand why there's such a big difference between them. I was suggesting a good idea for a grant, and if someone is interested on hacking on the module even without the money, then I'll be fully supportive of him.

      Note that if no one volunteers (or receives a gr
