Project Purpose

At Arrow, a strong community of contributors is essential to our success. We will always need to address how we can improve the onboarding process to bring more people in and align them to our mission. The purpose of this project is:

"To empower community members to contribute to Arrow’s mission by providing a welcoming, informative, and supportive environment that fosters unparalleled remote collaboration, learning, and growth.”

Project Scope

The project’s first round of funding will be used to address and improve:

1. Arrow’s website
2. Arrow’s documentation
3. Arrow’s onboarding documentation i.e. guides to contributing

Timeline

The sub-projects outlined above will run sequentially (1>2>3) and each should take between 4-6 weeks to complete. It is expected these three milestones will be complete by June 15th, 2025.

1. Arrow’s website (March to April)
2. Arrow’s documentation (April to May)
3. Arrow’s onboarding documentation (May to June)

Project Leader

I, Sleety, am putting myself forward as inaugural Project Leader for ‘Onboarding’.

Deliverables

Milestone 1: Website

A refreshed website that is reflective of Arrow’s mission. The intention is for it to be biased towards clear and persuasive typography-led copy, alongside non-distracting imagery. AIP-008 will be the north star for the refreshed copy. The exact site map is to be determined by group meeting but will most likely include landing page, mission/about page, how to contribute, roadmap, community, bounty board, snapshot page.

Budget for this milestone: $6,500

Milestone 2: Documentation

• A docs.arrowair.com built on the GitBook platform
• well thought out and researched implementation
• Thorough accompanying style guide

Budget for this milestone: $7,800

Milestone 3: Onboarding Documentation

• 20+ step-by-step guides to organizational processes
• adhering strictly to style guide established in previous milestone
• complete with media (video, graphics, diagrams) to make engaging with these docs a nice experience.

Budget for this milestone: $4,000

A multisig wallet will be established after approval to receive funds. The seats on the multisig will be; Project Leader (Sleety) and GBC.

Who is doing the work.

I am Gavin / Sleety and I’ve been involved with Arrow from the start. I’ve grown with Arrow and thought about how we can be better for years now. I’m an experienced graphic designer and animator. The wonderful thing about Arrow is that it allows me to seek concave approval from the community and execute in a familiar convex way.

I am looking forward to making Arrow a more organised and more user-friendly place to help build the future of aviation!
