Hello everyone

We have basically drafted the grant request for Wiki Loves Africa 2016.

At this stage, we need your help in two ways

1) remember to vote on the theme: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa/2016_theme_idea...

2) please endorse the project if you think it is a cool project (whether you plan to participate or not) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Yorg/Wiki_Loves_Africa_2016

Main changes this year (which would impact participants) * We asked for more money for the local teams (to do more events, have local winners and prizes etc.) * We are changing host organization (the planned host is a swiss non profit) * We would like to involve Elisabeth Coye, who has been working for Wikimedia France for several years now on fundraising matters, to improve accounting and reporting (to have it more consistant, more informative and hopefully more straightforward and simpler for participants)

Any questions or suggestions, please speak up !
