Ah, perhaps Russavia hasn't seen this post from Sue:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/foundation/447250?page=last

In particular the second to last paragraph. The WMF is not only not asking
the FDC for its entire budget, it isn't asking the FDC for any money at
all. It is inviting comment and participation from the FDC and the
community in crafting WMF priorities

Correcting the original link:

No, I think what he's surprised about is that the WMF appears to be asking
the FDC for its entire budget of $60,064,000.

Frankly, I'm not sure the FDC can do that, if for no other reason than
conflict of interest: the FDC is funded from that budget.

Which part do you think is a joke? The same notice is posted on all the
proposal forms.

[Wikimedia-l] WMF's April Fool's Joke?

[Russavia]

Hey all,

I came across
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Proposals/2013-2014_round2/Wikimedia_Foundation/Proposal_formearlier,
and I noticed at the top it says:

'We ask that you please not make any changes directly to this page after
the proposal submission date (1 April), but comment on the discussion page."

Can someone please confirm that this actually was the WMF's April Fools
joke on us all?

Regards,

Russavia
