Transparency in OpenGov is essential to fostering the trust and loyalty of the community, investors, and holders. This concept involves sharing relevant and accurate information about operations, finances, and other key areas of a government.
However, achieving a good level of transparency to the point of pleasing everyone is not an easy task; it requires a strong ethical commitment from all parties involved.
One of the weaknesses I’ve encountered these days is access to tracking approved bounties (specifically, I focused on those receiving child bounties). I will detail some points to clarify what I am referring to below:
->> I did not find a way to filter child bounties on a single screen, where I can see the parent number, title, short description, proposer, status (active, canceled, among others), the referendum by which it was approved, members or curators, and the type (marketing, development, among others).
These are some interesting data that, as a user, I would like to know because if I want to participate actively in OpenGov, I want to know what is currently being done or what is missing. Perhaps I can give ideas for efforts to be directed to uncovered topics. Or maybe I am a community member and would like to see if there is an active bounty in which I can participate and contribute with my skills, experience, or influence.
->> Another detail is that several proposals do not provide easy access to any social media of the team members (curators). Perhaps some are well known within the community, but we must also consider those who are new and do not know the influential members of the ecosystem.
Some might say it is unnecessary. Umm, I 100% disagree. Transparency must come from the ground up, and the base is your reputation (to whom is the project being entrusted?).

I believe this data should be easily accessible on Polkassembly. Although I also believe OG tracker has been funded, it is still not available. So, if we only have the referendums on Polkassembly, to make things easier, perhaps adding a notice or banner indicating that I can track approved referendums on OG tracker would be appropriate.
I have created a database with filters on Notion. I went to several links to gather as much information as possible. I added properties like those I described above that I would like to have easily in one place, and I missed some that I would also like to add, such as: DOT awarded / DOT claimed and from / until when it will be active.
You can check it here.
I also came across bounties that I could not deduce if they are active or not.
You may find some errors, and you can come back here and tell me so I can correct them. Anyway, I look forward to your comments on the topic in general and the state of the tools we currently have available in OpenGov.

update 11/08/24
I added another property (Report) where I will place the links to the reports shared by those in charge of the bounty
