Setting up a task as a bounty

Basic task inputs

It is recommended to include helpful details in the task to assist contributors to understand what is expected. You can make use of the following simple elements of a task to do that:

1. Title: Action-oriented statement that simply outlines the expected outcome

2. Permissions: Set how contributors engage, more details on Task Types & Assignee Gating

3. Skills: Add these so contributors can filter for them while Exploring Bounties

4. Due Date: Click ... then Set due date to set a deadline for the bounty

5. Description: Markdown-supported input area for you to add all relevant details that will help a contributor produce a good result. Also supports image & file drag-and-drop

6. Priority: Indicate the urgency of the task by setting this from a list of options

7. Task Points: It's helpful to include task points as a measure of effort that it would take to complete this task; also helpful if you're pre-token and want to measure contributions easily

8. Tags: Create your own tags to help a contributor identify at a glance what kind of task it is; it also helps when filtering tasks later
