Re: [Wikitech-l] [Wikimedia-l] Types of allowed projects for grant funding (renamed)

Hi Luis, Thank you for agreeing to consider grant funding for software projects. It sounds like you also plan a broader review of funding for community needs and growth. I have a list of requests for changes, which boil down to removing policy barriers and greatly improving communications and wor

[Wikitech-l] Transfering domain cswp.cz to WMF

Hi, Long time ago I purchased domain cswp.cz in order to use it in same way as enwp.org for czech wikipedia (cswp.org was taken by something). I think that it would be probably better if it was owned and maintained by WMF rather than me, but I don't really know where to ask, neither if ops are ac

I also think that we should revisit this policy. Any IEG should have a feasibility plan. In GSoC / Outreachy usually the mentors are the ones guaranteeing code review. In IEG that guarantee should be provided in other ways, but it is possible to provide it. For what is worth, https://www.mediawiki
