Hello GLAM friends!
For our second round of Individual Engagement Grant applications in 2014, we have a great crop of ideas. Wikimedians have dropped by to offer feedback, support, or expertise to some of the proposals, but some proposals have not been adequately reviewed by community members. Several of these proposals involve partnerships with cultural institutions, including digitization projects, outreach, creation and curation of learning materials, and more.
Community members with GLAM-outreach experience are uniquely suited to comment on these ideas. If there is an open proposal that interests you, that you have concerns about, or that involves an area where you have experience or expertise, please drop by the proposal page to share your views. This will help the proposers better hone their strategies, and will assist the IEG Committee in evaluating some of these fresh new ideas to improve the Wikimedia projects. Working with an IEG proposal may even inspire you to serve as a project advisor, or to propose one of your own for the next cycle! Comments are requested until October 20th.
