Hi Everyone Rather than repeat everything I would like to point you to a blog post created earlier today.
http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/11/15/fdc-process-milestone-sharing-wikimedia-movement-funds/ I do want to take the opportunity to once again thank all those involved in this first round, including all the participating chapters. As expressed earlier: this is the future of our funds dissemination and we will refine the process, but this first round has exceeded my expectations on all levels. Thanks everyone!
