HI everyone,
In case there are any mobile developers or social entrepreneurs on this
list, I though I'd make you aware of this opportunity. They do limit it to
NGOs, but there might be a way for the Wikimedia Foundation to provide the
organizational support for an idea. We would ideally support a mobile
application that helped to expand access in India or uses Wikimedia's
content in an innovative and engaging manner.
We'll need to figure out how we might support this, but those interested
can start by emailing me offlist.
Best,
Barry
