Thanks for the details Siko!
Going back to the original message in this thread - I would indeed be
concerned if the WMF was shutting down grantmaking for good projects for 3
months for no good reason.
However that's not really what's happening. It's more that non-urgent
grantmaking is being
Thanks Siko, also from me.
I do hope that you use this time to really learn of the dynamics of
grants/impact, by following up of earlier experience and also in
defining expectations targets etc in a specific area
For me an eyeopener was a program run in Sweden by WMSE to get more

At the opposite I consider that the limited time cannot produce
long-time effect, it's not rare that some good grants proceed to submit
a second phase to have a larger impact.
The best would be to check afterwards the impact of the solution of

Hi Anders,
my 2 cents. A project has a budget, this budget can be financed
externally but there are some countries which have more opportunities
than others.
In addition (it's my personal point of view) the external funding
introduces a bigger complexity to the projects in terms of

My point is rather that while WLM has a clear-cut dynamic, put in
resources-get photos in Commons, I believe that in the area of
gender-gap the dynamic could be more complex (as in my example).
And if WMF only want to see a direct link between effort and impact,
they could miss out
It's also my point considering that to get external funds probably a
team (like WLM) can bu pushed to find a stronger impact outside
Wikimedia movement in order to get more external funds.
The Gender gap has a stronger potentiality because is more flexible to
be adapted to external funds, but

I think this is always a good point to remind ourselves,
Sorry if this was already answered and I overlooked it, but will there be
something like a special form of advertising this campaign in order to
attract many requests that propose to do something about the Gender Gap?

Actually, the experiment is whether such a campaign would drive more
successful grants, as I understand it. It works from the assumption that
such grants would have a positive impact. I'm happy to go with that

Dear Wikimedia community,
The deadline set for new editor-in-chief applications is fast approaching.
As I said two weeks ago:[1]
Why should you apply? First, you will have established contributors who
are currently producing consistently stellar work, thus making your initial
learning curve far
My suggestion to Sucheta would be to start a website dedicated to the
mission, to first publish there with appropriate free licensing, and to
gradually port over material from there to WP on an topic-by-topic basis,
assuming there is also scholarly literature on the topics being covered.
It would
