Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] upcoming milestones for Annual Plan Grants

2015-11-13 Thread Nicole Ebber 
Thank you for posting the staff assessments, Katy, and the
subject-matter expert feedback[1], Wes. We really appreciate all the
work that goes into reviewing the proposals.

We did find a few areas that we felt still needed clarification – in
some cases the assessment seemed to contradict itself as well as the
subject-matter expert feedback. We hope that our short comments on the
talk page[2] contribute to the deliberations and help the FDC make
informed decisions.

Kind regards,
Nicole

Thanks, Nicole, for WMDE's clarifications and additional context.

WMF staff have indeed posted our staff assessments of all 11 submitted
proposals. This is one of the inputs to the Funds Dissemination Committee
deliberations.

You are welcome to review our assessments as well as the proposals here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Proposals/2015-2016_round1

Many organizations have submitted additional context and feedback on the
Discussion pages of these assessments.

Cheers,
Katy

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] upcoming milestones for Annual Plan Grants

2015-11-02 Thread Liam Wyatt 
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.


Sincerely,
Liam / Wittylama
