Chere Florence
if it is allowed to point out that Saudi Arabia is not exactly Africa,
so what about taking Anna Tibaijuka from Tanzania in the list instead?
(so far existing in Deutsch, Français, Hrvatski, Kiswahili, Polski,
Português, 中文 - which is less than the lady from Saudi or
Yaa Asantewaa)

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Open call for Project Grant proposals (Feb 13-Mar 14)
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi everyone,
The Wikimedia Foundation Project Grants program launches its third open
call today, February 13. We will be accepting proposals through March 14
for new ideas to improve Wikimedia projects. <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project>
Funds are available to support individuals, groups and organizations to
implement new experiments and proven ideas, whether focused on building a
new tool or gadget, organizing a better process on your wiki, researching
an important issue, coordinating an editathon series or providing other
support for community-building.
Ideas from the current Inspire Campaign on developing outside knowledge
networks are very welcome. <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire>
We will be hosting weekly proposals clinics via Hangouts for real-time
discussions about the Project Grants Open Call. Links for Hangouts will be
posted by tomorrow here: <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project#Upcoming_events>
In addition, we have just launched our new tutorial videos to help guide
applicants through key portions of the proposal writing process: <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Tutorial>
We are excited to see your grant ideas that will support our community and
make an impact on the future of Wikimedia projects. Put your idea into
motion, and submit your proposal between February 13 and March 14! <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Apply>
Please feel free to get in touch with me (mjohnson(a)wikimedia.org) or Alex
Wang (awang(a)wikimedia.org) with questions about getting started with your
project!
Warm regards,
Marti

Hello
Me again.
We have a whole collection of good images from Egypt.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Mohamed_kamal_1984
Problem is that there are hardly any description for those. The titles
seem fairly different from images to images, so I guess the titles could
include interesting information about those images that would help
categorize them.
But neither Ji-elle nor I speak any Arabic.... so we are a bit lost there.
Any support from an arabic person to better describe (in English or in
French) or categorize those images would be welcome.
Thanks
Florence
