🆕 Evaluating Algorithms for Retroactive Public Goods Funding: Optimism Meets Dev Tooling

The discussion is about evaluating algorithms for Retroactive Public Goods Funding Season 7, focusing on Dev Tooling, with three proposed algorithms (Arcturus, Bellatrix, Canopus) that use a \"metrics-driven, humans-in-the-loop\" approach to allocate 1.33M OP based on project utility and contribution.
