Maintenance, improvement and development of new features on the Assembly workbench - Q4

[PaddleStroke]

Proposal description

The application for this grant aims to continue the development around the Assembly workbench.
It is proposed to extend the work of bug fixing, maintenance, reorganization, standardization of the module and the addition of new features.

For reference the currently opened issues :
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22Mod%3A%20Assembly%22

This is a proposed extension of #51

Deliverables

Weekly pull requests will be delivered for bug fixing, feature requests and code maintenance work at a similar rate to what I have done in the past.

Timeline

Starts when the proposal is approved or when the previous grant finishes (8th January), whichever comes last.
The time dedicated will be 10 hours per week over the 3 months.

Risks and mitigation

As for any software development, quantifying the amount of work necessary for a specific feature request/bug fix is very difficult. Therefor this proposal is for an undefined amount of goals, but a total amount of time.

Compensation

The requested compensation is 3000€ for the three months of work.

[Reqrefusion]

At the conclusion of the FPA meeting, it was decided that, since the Technical Committee has not yet commenced its review and the relevant date differs, your late submissions will be evaluated for the fourth quarter of 2025. Please ensure that you pay close attention to the final submission deadlines.

The FPA's vote on the Quarter 4 2025 grant proposals is complete, and this grant was selected for funding. Congratulations @PaddleStroke

FPA is redesigning the grant system due to the end of the year. And in this direction, it wants the grant program to be used by more people and to be more competitive. And there is a demand for only one grant to be given to one person per quarter. Although many members think this way, many members have voted in the opposite direction due to your extraordinary contributions in the past. However, I would like to remind you that this is not a rule for now, but just an idea, and if it is turned into a rule in the future, no initiative can be taken.

I am not repeating the information about the contact person because you received a grant in the previous period.
