Hello!
We are sending this message to select community mailing lists and all
previous recipients of a Wikimedia Foundation Rapid Grant. We have three
announcements regarding the Rapid Grants Program:
*1. New Rapid Grants Program Officer! *
We are very happy to announce we have hired a Program Officer for Rapid
Grants -- Woubzena Jifar! She started at WMF on November 13th. Over the
last year we have struggled to keep up with the growing demand for Rapid
Grants and are excited to be able to add capacity to our team to better
(and more rapidly) support the Wikimedia communities. Please see her staff
bio here: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/User:WJifar_(WMF). You can
contact her at wjifar(a)wikimedia.org or rapidgrants(a)wikimedia.org.
*2. Three grant cap for individuals, groups, and organizations*
Beginning December 1, 2017 any individual, group, or organization will only
be allowed to have three open grants at any one time [1]. This includes
both Rapid Grants and Project Grants. For example, you can have 2 Rapid
Grants and 1 Project Grant, 3 Rapid Grants, etc. This is to ensure that
grantees and project managers have enough capacity to reach their goals and
meet the requirements of the grant agreement. Conference Grants are not
included in this cap. Annual Plan Grantees are not eligible for Rapid or
Project Grants.
*3. Rapid Grants will be closed December 18, 2017 - January 14, 2018*
We will not be accepting new grant proposals December 18-January 14. The
last day to submit a new proposal before the end of the year will be
December 15th. This will give us a week before our offices close for the
remainder of 2017 to review and make decisions. We will begin accepting new
proposals again on Monday, January 15th.
If you have any questions, please email rapidgrants(a)wikimedia.org
Cheers,
Alex

Dear Wikimedians
Hello!! Wiki Loves Africa has had amazing entries this year - REMEMBER … THERE ARE STILL 7 DAYS TO ENTER!!
You can view them here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Africa_2… <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Africa_2…>
It is that time when we are looking for judges across the continent to decide on who takes away the prize money! We have had some amazing judges in the past - but I don’t want to presume they have the time this year.
We are looking for
1. commonists (so, people who have an idea of what the community is about and how it works),
2. notable photographers
Please let me know your thoughts either on-list or off, by the 27th if possible.
thank you!
warmest
Isla

Hi there,
The Wikimedia Foundation Community health initiative’s Anti-Harassment
Tools team is developing a new feature to allow users involved with dispute
resolution to understand the sequence of events between two users in order
to confidently make a decision about how to best resolve a user conduct
dispute.
It is important to hear from a broad range of people who are interested in
the design of the tool, so we hope you join the discussion.
You can read more about the Interactive Timeline here
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_health_initiative_on_Engl…>
and leave comments on the talk page
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Community_health_initiative_on…>
or email me off list. Alternatively, you can join a discussion on Meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Community_health_initiative/Interactio…>
wiki about the same topic.
For the Anti-Harassment Tools team,
Sydney Poore
Community Advocate,
Wikimedia Foundation
Support and Safety team;
Anti-harassment tool team
Happy to share this good news here.
Regards,
Isaac
