v6.0 Criteria

[blocksbarcelona]

I have drafted the first proposal for the new v6.0 evaluation criteria. It can be found here:

Major Changes in v6.0

Key Changes:

1. Bi-weekly Evaluations:
   • Contributions evaluations will now occur every two weeks.
   • Technical evaluations will alternate with contributions evaluations, also taking place every two weeks.
   • As a result, an evaluation will now happen every week, ensuring a more consistent evaluation process.
2. Submission of Reports:
   • Submission of reports is optional, not mandatory. Guilds are encouraged to submit reports only when there are new updates or changes in their products or contributions.
   • Guilds may submit a report at any time, and it will be reviewed during the next contributions evaluation.
   • The current 6-week contribution decay cycle will remain in place.
3. Criteria Updates:
   • New criteria will not be released on a fixed 6-week cycle but will instead be issued when necessary.
   • Any changes to the criteria will be announced in advance, providing enough time for Guilds to review and give feedback.
   • New criteria will always include a sufficiently delayed effective date to allow Guilds time to acknowledge the changes and make the necessary adjustments.
4. Holiday and Vacation Exceptions:
   • There will be exceptions to the regular evaluation cadence during major holiday periods, specifically during Christmas and summer holidays.
   • During these periods, there will be at least 15 consecutive days without evaluations.
   • The exact dates of these breaks will be announced in advance to allow Guilds to plan accordingly.
