Reforwarding Alex email to this list since some seems to have miss it.

Rapid grant can be asked anytimes, but it is only up to 2000 dollars for rather standard requests Wikiindaba would rather belong to Project Grant and those are only approved twice a year. Last day to apply for next session is 30th of May.

Important dates to note:

Come read about the timeline and next steps for implementing changes based on your feedback. Your questions and comments are welcome on the discussion page.
