In Anasuyas mail sent out, otherwise OK, she mentions "comments on the FDC or the proposal process itself" should go to FDC staff wikipage. Should it not go to the FDC commmeets wikipage? I have thought we FDC members after we have prepared the recommendation should make a review/evaluation (

Re: [Wikimedia-l] WMF core and non core expenses

Does the merchandise store, which will cost USD 311000, have an ROI published somewhere? I think some 'Research' is needed in WMF core, however any funds under 'Research' should be granted to, and administrated by, an academic institution. Preferably via a competitive program. John Vandenberg. se
