Community update on The Einsteinium Foundation progress for the release of MIL

May 2020

To the Einsteinium Community,

Plans

We remain committed to the release of MIL as it is the clear path forward for Einsteinium to support its overarching mission. This includes our recent initiatives to support the ongoing medical response to COVID-19 which can been seen in our recent blog posts.

This update describes the progress made by The Einsteinium Foundation thus far in the undertaken project as well as the remaining tasks. An overall assessment of the project is provided as well as a forecast for its completion. In an effort to determine the best strategy for completion, the current leadership has considered multiple options which includes converting the current project to open source. Additionally, we may initiate a code completion bounty. This would be in line with our core values of transparency and openness. 

Progress

Overall, the project is on track for completion. Currently our group is searching for additional talent and financial support from the Ethereum community in order to speed up its progress. We intend to resolve some of the technical issues that have been encountered and are typical of modern blockchain development. Additionally, we will present the major gaps and consequences of contemporary governments support for science and how our solutions (including MIL) will improve the funding environment and transparency.

Summary

During this project we have encountered some minor problems. 

The newly restructured management are working diligently to solve these issues and keep our community in the loop. Considering our previous success in remedying technical situations, our group is fit for completing the MIL release in the near future.
