[Wikimedia-l] Open call for Individual Engagement Grant proposals

[Marti Johnson]

Hi everyone,

The Wikimedia Foundation Individual Engagement Grants (IEG) program is
accepting proposals from March 14th to April 12th for new ideas to improve
Wikimedia projects.   Funds are
available (up to $30,000 USD) to support individuals or teams of up to four
people to implement promising ideas, whether focused on building a new tool
or gadget, organizing a better process on your wiki, researching an
important issue, or providing other support for community-building.  Ideas
from the current Inspire Campaign on content curation and review are very
welcome. 

Do you have have a good idea, but would like some feedback before
applying?  Put it into the IdeaLab, where volunteers and staff can give you
advice and guidance on how to bring it to life. <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab>  Once your idea is ready,
it can be easily migrated into a grant request.

Community Organizer (and former IEG recipient) Chris Schilling and I will
also be hosting Hangouts at least weekly for real-time discussions about
the Inspire Campaign and the IEG Open Call to answer questions and help you
make your proposal better.  Hangouts are already underway - with the next
two scheduled for March 15th and 22nd.  <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Events#Upcoming_events>

We are excited to see your grant ideas that will support our community and
make an impact on the future of Wikimedia projects.  Put your idea into
motion, and submit your proposal between March 14 and April 12! <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG#ieg-apply>

Please feel free to get in touch with me (mjohn...@wikimedia.org) with
questions about getting started with your idea.

Warm regards,

Marti

Hi everyone,

This is Chris Schilling (User:I JethroBT).  The Wikimedia Foundation
Individual Engagement Grants (IEG) program is accepting proposals for
funding new experiments from August 31st to September 29th.  <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG>  As a former grantee in

way to realize your idea for improving Wikimedia projects. <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Reimagining_Wikipedia_Mentorship>

Your idea could involve building new tools or software, organizing a better
process on your wiki, conducting research to investigate an important
issue, or providing other support for community-building.Whether you need a
small or large amount of funds (up to $30,000 USD) Individual Engagement
Grants can support you and your team’s project development time in addition
to other expenses like travel, materials, and rental space. Project
schedules and reporting are flexible for grantees, and staff are available
on Meta to support you through all stages of your project.

Do you have have an idea, but would like some feedback before applying?
Put it into the IdeaLab, where volunteers and staff can give you advice and
guidance on how to bring it to life.  <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab>  Once your idea is ready,
it can be easily migrated into a grant request.  IEG Program Officer Marti
Johnson and I will also be hosting several Hangouts for real-time
discussions to answer questions and help you make your proposal better -
the first will happen on September 8th. <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Events#Upcoming_events>

Hi Nasir,
We've heard this from one other user, but have been unable to reproduce the
bug so far. I'm going to connect you to the team so we can trouble-shoot
off-list. Thanks for testing!

Where is it failing for you? The popup form works for me on both
Safari and Chrome on OSX 10.8.5. I didn't go through the whole wizard,
tho, because I didn't want to add dummy data to the database.
