Latest update: Aug 2022

NOTE: the cGrants platform is currently in maintenance mode while GPC works on building out the Grants 2.0 protocol. To learn more about how the team will service customer support issues, please see the SLA below.

➡️ Start here

This playbook is for things that look broken somewhere in the Gitcoin product ecosystem. If you have an idea for something new that the GPC teams should build, please create a thread in #🌍grants-2-general and tag @GPC Product & Design instead.

If you’re pretty sure you’ve found something that’s broken, please ask yourself:

• 🚨 Is this a major issue that needs to be resolved in 24 hours or less? If so, follow the steps in the Major Issues section below.
  • Examples of things that could be red issues**:**
    • Is there down time in major features of the application?
    • Is the issue putting the Gitcoin reputation at major risk?
    • Is there a security issue that cannot wait another minute?
• 🔵  Is this something that can be addressed on a longer timeline? If so, follow the steps in the Everything Else section below.
