Hi Ido,

Thanks for exploring the new program! Yes, we definitely plan to have the
pages translated. We want to see if there will be any substantial edits to
the content during this first phase before we do a big translation campaign
in August.

Cheers,

Alex

[Wikimedia-l] Announcing Rapid Grants

2016-05-18 Thread ido ivri
Awesome news, Alex!

The rapid grants site is very welcoming and the information is very clear.
I especially appreciated the "learn" page with the guidelines, and I do
think the forum is a good idea that should definitely be explored.

Going forward, it'll be a good idea to translate guidelines, etc. to our
local communities. I wonder if the Rapid Grants pages could be opened for
translation, perhaps after the initial Rapid Grants pilot phase.

Again, this is awesome!

Ido

[Wikimedia-l] Announcing Rapid Grants

2016-05-17 Thread Alex Wang
Hello Wikimedians,

We are excited to announce the launch of a new Wikimedia Foundation grants
program, Rapid Grants!

Rapid grants fund Wikimedia community members -- individuals, groups, or
organizations contributing to Wikimedia projects -- to organize projects
throughout the year for up to USD 2,000. Projects can include experiments
or standard needs that don't need broad review to get started. Applications
are reviewed weekly by WMF staff.

Read more about the new program and apply here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid

Questions? Email rapidgra...@wikimedia.org

For more information about next steps and important dates for the grants
program redesign, please visit:

Cheers,

Alex
