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!
