We are celebrating 6 months of the ARK GitHub Development Bounty. Thanks to all of the community developers, we are evolving at light-speed pace!

Our development community grew substantially this month with a lot of new faces. The number of awesome pull requests is increasing almost daily now, which in turn means better software, a better user experience, better everything. We at ARK are truly blessed and grateful for a community such as you.

Please note that PRs count in the month when they get merged and not when they are submitted for easier tracking. All PRs merged from 1st of October till 31st of October will count towards October, and following months will be similarly credited by our dev team.
