Some disturbing news entered my mailbox the past days. The grant making
team is going to shut down the grantmaking process for Project and Event
Grants (PEG) and Individual Engagement Grants (IEG) for three full months!
They have decided that they want to focus only on a specific strategic
priority: the gender gap, and that all other good projects are refused for
3 months (February-April)
Good projects to be ignored, just because the WMF think those are less
important. They say this is a positive campaign, but this sounds as a
negative campaign to me. This discourages many volunteers in doing
projects.With increasing vandalism and disruption the WMF seems looking to
close some mailing lists for lack of volunteers. This is a negative signal
to all those volunteers who are currently working on project plans.
As LGBT related proposals will presumably be amongst the first to be
rejected, a small actively moderated external mailing list for action is
formed of engaged Wikimedians.
