Hi Hahahammond,

I like the idea of figuring out what Pinterest is doing well and attempting to attract some of its users to Wikimedia.

Because of the visual nature of Pinterest, I wonder if VisualEditor would be helpful in this case. I also think that you might try encouraging uploads and categorization work on Commons.

I am less clear on the financial details of this proposal, but I'm sure the grants committee can work that out with you.

Hi everyone,

I would really love your feedback on my Inspire Grant proposal, "Bored with Boards: Attract Pinterest Users to Wikipedia http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Bored_with_Boards:_Attract_Pinterest_Users_to_Wikipedia ."

The project would entail initiating a match-making program between Wikipedia articles and women who are actively engaged in content creation and evaluation on female-dominated social networks, such as Pinterest.

Thanks a lot! Bored with Boards (a.k.a. user:Hahahammond)
