Roles documentation and infrastructure

We've been working with the concept of roles since the inception of Phase Zero, but this month I took the time to formally document everything and comprehensively update the associated infrastructure.

• Produce Roles doc: Produce 'Roles' doc bisq-docs#46
• Update Proposals doc to conform to the instructions in the doc above (changes included in the PR above), and also to serve as an example / template for how role documentation should be written.
• Updated (and created as necessary) GitHub teams in accordance with the doc above, such that primary role owners are the maintainers of their GitHub teams and can manage them independently.

The next step with this work is for individual role owners to write up their own docs; in most cases this should by a minor effort. @m52go has agreed to co-write @sqrrm's btcnode maintainer documentation as a first step, and after we see how that goes, we'll ask other role owners to get involved and take care of their own documentation as well.

BSQ requested: 3000

Pricenode rewrite

• Refactor (rewrite) pricenode: Use post build plugin bisq-pricenode#7

Since merging the pricenode rewrite PR in April, I've held off on requesting compensation for it, but as it's now abundantly clear that it works well and that all @bisq-network/pricenode-operators have long since updated to the latest version, I'll claim compensation now.

BSQ requested: 9000

Otherwise

I delivered little else beyond minor changes this month due to my ongoing health issue.

Contributions in progress

Provide links to work you're involved with that is still in progress. This section is optional, and is for your own benefit in keeping track of what you're doing and keeping other contributors up to date with the same.

I have a number of WIP PRs in the bisq-docs repository, many in a very raw draft state, but I'll be taking a break from writing for the next weeks to focus on build infrastructure and coding. Interested parties are free to pick up the ball with those PRs or to write other docs that are called out at https://docs.bisq.network. The Payment Methods documentation would be a very useful place to start!

The first thing I'll be focusing on in the coming month is reconsolidating most of our bisq-* repositories into a single multi-module repository. You can read more about this in the doc here. In any case, this change will be made in the least disruptive way possible, likely on the back of the v0.7.2 release in early–mid August. In the meantime, as described in the doc above, I'll be working on a dry run of the change that people will be able to play with and review.

Roles performed

Provide summary line items for each role you own per the instructions at https://docs.bisq.network/roles.html#compensation.

Notes to self

My contributions this month were created by reviewing the results of this GitHub Issues search query: org:bisq-network involves:cbeams updated:2018-07-01..2018-07-31 sort:updated-desc

The list of roles above was generated by the following ghi command run within my clone of the bisq-network/roles repository:

ghi list --assignee=cbeams --no-labels \
| grep -v '^#' \
| cut -b7- | rev | cut -d' ' -f3- | rev | sort \
| xargs -Irole echo " - role: "

Also useful to opening all of these issues is the following command:

for role in $(\
ghi list --mine \
  | grep -v '^#' \
  | cut -d'[' -f1 \
  | sed 's/^ *//' | sed 's/  /:/' \
  | awk -F':' '{print $2 ":" $1}' \
  | sort | cut -d':' -f2\
); do ghi show --web $role; done;
