Retro Funding 5: Expert voting experiment

This is exciting! Lots of interesting experimentation here. :slightly_smiling_face:

Really cool that voters get to decide on the OP distribution between different categories after the application deadline when we know how many have applied and maybe have a general sense of the quality of applications. Maybe some useful data can be gained from the review process?

I’m curious - did you consider asking voters which category/categories they would be most keen to vote on? And if you did, what was the thought process behind choosing the random sampling approach here?

Also - I look forward to see what kind of interaction there will be between citizens and guest voters and between experts and non-experts! Aside from the question of whether some people are better equipped to vote because of their past experiences (which I would expect to be the case), I would hypothesize that introducing experts into the process could raise the level of all voters …but only if the conditions are conducive, and if experts and non-experts alike are willing to enter into fruitful exchange. :seedling:
