I'm sorry if this process has felt at all dismissive to any developers. Like everything else at Facebook, the fbFund grant program is an iterative process, and we're working hard to make it better. I'm particularly sorry about the delay on this initial round -- we wanted to make sure that every proposal got the consideration it deserved, and reviewed each proposal closely. We're constantly fine-tuning the process to make it better, and I know you'll see improvements as we learn more about what helps our developers.
We value our developers immensely, and are trying to figure out how to efficiently scale out a program that will support them. If you have specific feedback, we'd love to hear it at fbFund at facebook.com.
