+Please be short and to the point in your answers; focus primarily on
+the what and how, not so much on the why. Add longer descriptions as
+attachments (see below). If English isn't your first language, don't
+worry - our reviewers don't care about spelling errors, only about
+great ideas. We apologise for the inconvenience of having to submit in
+English. On the up side, you can be as technical as you need to be (but
+you don't have to). Do stay concrete. Use plain text in your reply only,
+if you need any HTML to make your point please include this as attachment.

+Luke Leighton is an ethical technology specialist who has a consistent
+24-year track record of developing code in a real-time transparent
+(fully libre) fashion, and in managing Software Libre teams.  He is the
+lead developer on the Libre RISC-V SoC.
+
+TODO
+
+# Requested Amount
+
+EUR 50,000.
+
+# Explain what the requested budget will be used for?
+
+Improve the Wishbone B4 Specification to add streaming capability,
+similar to AXI4 Streams
+
+# Does the project have other funding sources, both past and present?
+
+no.
+
+# Compare your own project with existing or historical efforts.

+As mentioned in the 2018 submission, the Libre RISC-V
+SoC has a full set of resources for Libre Project Management and development:
+mailing list, bugtracker, git repository and wiki - all listed here:
+<https://libre-riscv.org/>
+
+In addition, we have a Crowdsupply page
+<https://www.crowdsupply.com/libre-risc-v/m-class> which provides a public
+gateway, and heise.de, reddit, phoronix, slashdot and other locations have
+all picked up the story.  The list is updated and maintained here:
