For those interested in seeing what the current round of Annual Plan Grant applications are proposing, I've created a table of the 11 applicants' documents and relevant reports: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Proposals/2015-2016_round1/Deliberations#Documents
There's a lot of details that the various applicants have published, describing both what they plan to do in the next year as well as reporting on how things have gone in the current year so far. There is also the community review page for each applicant where they have been answering questions in public from FDC volunteers, WMF staff and the wider community. Further down the same page, I've also created a comparative table of some of the core budget items: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Proposals/2015-2016_round1/Deliberations#Budget_comparison This is all public information derived from the above documents. This enables the community to see in one place how much the different applicants are requesting; how this differs from their grant last year; what proportion of their total budget this grant represents, etc. Those of us on the FDC have spent the last few weeks reading all this information - and believe me there's a LOT here if you read all of it! - in preparation for the Round 1 deliberations that will take place soon (as per Katy's email). Hopefully the creation of these tables will make it easier for the wider community to get an understanding of what kind of work goes into making, and also reviewing, an Annual Plan Grant.
