+### Project Description
+
+Continue maintenance work in my role as maintainer of astroquery, February through December 2023.
+
+I am asking for the half the amount of money/funded developer hours I did last cycle for two reasons. 1) I have requested an extension to last years contract that will fund my work through February 2023. 2) I am requesting what amounts to a small reduction in hours per week to be more in line with my ongoing availability. 
+
+### Project / Work
+A combination of maintenance and enhancement work on the astroquery coordinated pakage.
+
+Maintenance work:
+ * Respond to issues
+ * Review pull requests
+ * Forward issues to the appropriate parties when upstream issues are noted
+ * Adapt to changing APIs
+ * Communicate with external development teams
+
+Enhancement work:
+ * Improve caching capabilities
+ * Improve developer documentation
+
+### Approximate Budget

+ * Salary: 6375 (1/24 FTE, 1/2 month developer time)
