Your idea is provocative, and intriguing, but I think that - at least in
this form - it is doomed to fail because it actually steps around what

This reminds me of a slightly heretical idea I had a while ago while
thinking about crowdfunding and WMF fundraising...
Currently the WMF raises money via site banners, and spends these on
programmes and disburses them via grants, which go to all kinds of projects

I'm pretty concerned that the systematic biases in the wikimedia movement
would be continued if there was no organized effort to do a comprehensive
review of all proposals to see where we are lacking diversity. I'm in favor
of having more focused funding calls like the Inspire Gender Gap campaign.
Of course you're very correct that there are many projects sitting around
asking for scrutiny - the difference here is the (potential of) funding
would be default yes instead of default no, with the discussion just around
the priority. I expect that would attract a lot more attention very quickly
Hi everyone,
it is my pleasure to announce the release of the 2014 annual report on

I'm not sure you've understood correctly. In my proposed system, people

and donate to them directly, rather than donating into a central pot.

In your scheme, items would not get moved up to be considered if they are
not popular enough, right? From my experience working on wikimedia global
committees, it would be likely that the volume of requests would be much
larger than the capacity of the wikimedia movement to evaluate them. People
This is terrific news- congrats!

Well, you could create a guideline that said In the interest of
innovation, we should try and fund a diversity of projects and then with
the community hash out what dimensions you care about for diversity in this
context, and how far from equality you are happy to go without artificial

Thank you for this fascinating report, and this is another opportunity to
thank all OTRS agents across the movement, for their tireless and

Interestingly to see on the report that even under so much criticism,
the Brazilian Catalyst Program, coordinated by Oona Castro through a
partnership between the Wikimedia Foundation and Ação Educativa was
crucial in creating and supporting great part of the activities listed
by the user group,
Nobody ever said that the Catalyst was a total failure. It had indeed good
points. The thing is that I am not the only one with the opinion that the
results were clearly not good enough for what was expected from all money
invested and it is quite not fair to compare them with a volunteer effort
Good! You just confirmed my point of view!!
Probably the cost / benefit of the Brazilian Catalyst Program was not the
best one, but the program ended fulfilling its catalytic role of the
Brazilian community, supporting the creation of networking, partnerships
and activities.
Best regards

A forward for technical and tech-curious people not subscribed to
wikitech-l. If you have or want to join a hackathon plan for Lyon (May
23-25), we want to know. Important note: Wikimedia Hackathons are not only
for developers, as good software development requires many other profiles,
including
Quim,
Thanks for bringing this up. The subject of non-developers attending
hackathons came up in at least one recent off-list conversation. I think it
would be interesting to have a sampling of experienced Wikimedians present
who may not be developers but who are expert end-users of MediaWiki.
