It&rsquo;s currently the most popular aggregator in the ecosystem with 100+ ⭐️ on Github. What initially started as a community-driven awesome-list is now starting to become challenging to maintain in terms of accuracy, relevance, and user-friendliness as the ecosystem grows.
Community Support
After talking to a bunch of ecosystem members and core contributors, including @kianenigma and @shawntabrizi, we got a bunch of feedback, highlighting the need for a robust platform that provides valuable and up to date aggregation of the Polkadot ecosystem. Here are the links to the discussion: GitHub Issue: <a href="https://github.com/haquefardeen/awesome-dot/issues/26">awesome-dot/issues/26</a> Polkadot Forum: <a href="https://forum.polkadot.network/t/visibility-initiative-for-funded-projects/10604/">Visibility Initiative</a> Feedback from Shawn on the Polkadot forum:<a href="https://forum.polkadot.network/t/awesomedot-central-library-of-polkadot-ecosystem/6529/3"> Link to Post</a>
Key Features
AwesomeDot Website: An intuitive layout for discovering projects, categories, and relevant metadata. It will provide a responsive design that showcases detailed project information and fosters community engagement.
Liveness Bot: Automates detection of stale or abandoned projects via recent commit checks, flags or removes dead links. It will run on GitHub Actions for scheduled or event-based checks, keeping the list current.
Metrics Bot &amp; Data Integration: Fetches project metrics (e.g., stars, forks, last commit date) from GitHub displaying them on the website, helping users quickly identify active, healthy projects.
About Awesomedot
The AwesomeDOT community consists of experienced members actively contributing to the Polkadot ecosystem, maintaining the Awesome-DOT GitHub repository. It has over 100+ stars and contributions from senior community members like Dr. Radha Krishna Dasari and Kian Paimani.

Propose and approve a spend of treasury funds.

## Dispatch Origin

Must be [`Config::SpendOrigin`] with the `Success` value being at least
`amount` of `asset_kind` in the native asset. The amount of `asset_kind` is converted
for assertion using the [`Config::BalanceConverter`].

## Details

Create an approved spend for transferring a specific `amount` of `asset_kind` to a
designated beneficiary. The spend must be claimed using the `payout` dispatchable within
the [`Config::PayoutPeriod`].

### Parameters
- `asset_kind`: An indicator of the specific asset class to be spent.
- `amount`: The amount to be transferred from the treasury to the `beneficiary`.
- `beneficiary`: The beneficiary of the spend.
- `valid_from`: The block number from which the spend can be claimed. It can refer to
  the past if the resulting spend has not yet expired according to the
  [`Config::PayoutPeriod`]. If `None`, the spend can be claimed immediately after
  approval.

## Events

Emits [`Event::AssetSpendApproved`] if successful.

- **Problem Statement:** Maintaining the AwesomeDOT repository with accurate and relevant information in the growing Polkadot ecosystem.
- **Significance:** Ensuring a robust platform for up-to-date aggregation of Polkadot ecosystem projects.
- **Proposed Solution:** Implement an intuitive website layout, a Liveness Bot for project maintenance, and a Metrics Bot for project metrics integration.
- **Expected Outcomes:** Improved user experience, increased community engagement, and enhanced accuracy of project information.
