--- Comment #8 from Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl at lkcl.net> ---
andrey, ths also needs adding, "how to do budget estimation"
https://lists.libre-soc.org/pipermail/libre-soc-dev/2023-August/005592.html

it involves guestimating +/- 40% a number of days where "number"
is less than appx 8, but no smaller than 1/2 a day,
and the total subtasks so estimated is appx 5-25.
if greater than 8 days it is REQUIRED to break it into
smaller subtasks.

statistically speaking the +/- 40% variance when added up
over 20+ tasks gives a time estimate that is accurate to +/- 10%.

... but you have to actually have a fricking clue and a clear
idea of what is actually needed, and NOT leave anything out.
forget to add say "do the documentation" to the list of tasks
to be estimated for funding and you just screwed the project by
failing to put in the Grant Request to cover 80% more work than
there is available money.
or your project just has no documentation and is worthless due to
noone being able to maintain it in future.
