The In Progress category is for bounties that have been claimed by contributors and are actively being worked on. It allows the community and reviewers to track ongoing efforts in a transparent way.
Unlike Open Bounties, which list tasks available for claiming, In Progress contains only bounties that are assigned and underway. This helps keep the workflow organized and ensures contributors can provide updates on their progress.
Topics in this category generally contain:
- Updates on work completed so far
- Questions or clarifications from the contributor
- Links to work-in-progress deliverables (PRs, drafts, prototypes)
- Estimated completion timelines or milestones
- Any blockers or dependencies that need attention
This category is important for transparency and accountability. It allows the community and reviewers to see which bounties are currently active, monitor progress, and support contributors as needed. Once work is completed and reviewed, topics should be moved to Completed.
