Yes, considering that WLM mailing list has less subscribers than this
one, I suppose that it's better to repeat here this question.
The discussion is now out of that thread because it has opened a new one
here.
This may be helpful for people who do not understand the "root cause" of
this discussion.

I hate to fall in repetition of the discussion we had already on the wiki
loves monuments mailing list about this but:
- the problems we identified are far more general than Wiki Loves
Monuments. Even if WLM is fully unaffected, our points stand because that
would be because of timing and not because it works so well.
- One of the learning lessons in 2013 for the international team (I was
part of that team), was that the grant request was finalized way too late.
The request dragged on too long for many reasons, and was already started
behind schedule. If it were up to me, the 2015 team would already make the
request this month anyway.
- Most teams indeed seem to either have it in an Annual Plan Grant, or are
very late in requesting. Also this is something we learn from each time
that it is, in fact, too late. I would definitely not encourage teams to
delay requesting if they already know what they have to request (this is
different if they are still chasing sponsors etc). Most of the other work
for organizing is already due in June-Aug, so it would be smart to be
finished with the finances by then. It allows to focus on what matters most
during that time.
Just to summarize from the other threat.
Best,
Lodewijk
