We started working on the dashboard in May and the first version was launched at the end of the month, see the announcement here: Karma delegation dashboard

Are the subjects of this award entirely open source (MIT, GPL, Apache, CC BY license or similar)? If not, which parts will not be, why, and under what license will they be published?

The entire frontend, scoring logic and subgraphs are all open source. The only part that is not open source is the integrations with all the offchain systems. We plan to open source even this piece of backend infrastructure in the futre.

Benefits

The delegation dashboard can be used to onboard new delegates to the DAO, they can submit their delegation statement, link all their social handles. The token holders who do not have the time to be involved in governance can discover candidates and delegate their tokens right in the dashboard. The dashboard also has a number of features to easily track your delegate activity, lookup their performance, redelegate and so on.
