Hola a todos,
Como sabrán, hace poco se aprobó el financiamiento de 11 proyectos
diseñados por la comunidad a través del programa Project Grants de la
Fundación Wikimedia. Estas iniciativas abarcan desde desarrollo web, hasta
organización de comunidades online y offline.
A fin de mejorar el conocimiento de estos proyectos, y alentar la
colaboración y la participación a lo largo del movimiento, presentamos el
primer Wikimedia Project Showcase el próximo jueves 13 de junio, a las 9 am
Hora del Pacífico (1600 UTC).
Pueden unirse al evento de dos maneras:

Cada grantee tendrá cinco minutos para presentar su proyecto, compartir
porqué es importante, y describir de qué forma se pueden involucrar otras
personas. Si quieren aportar su trabajo, ayudar, o simplemente aprender más
del increíble trabajo que, como ustedes, están haciendo otras comunidades
en todo el mundo, por favor no dejen de participar de Wikimedia Project
Showcase el próximo jueves!
Esperamos ver a muchos de ustedes ahí,

Subject: Project Grants program will fund 11 community-led projects
To: Wikimedia Mailing List wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org
*Hi all,In the latest round of Project Grants, the committee has
recommended 11 projects for a total of $354,654 in funding.  We received 24
proposals for review.  Here’s what we’re funding. [1]Software: four
projects funded - ScienceSource
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/ScienceSource: Medical
knowledge is accessed over 2 billion times a year on Wikimedia projects,
but only a relatively small number of editors create and maintain it.
ScienceSource seeks to build an algorithm that will model editor
decision-making to identify reliable biomedical reference sources. By using
machine automation to sift through large volumes of reference materials,
ScienceSource will support volunteers to do their work faster and more
effectively.  [2] - WikiProject X
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Isarra/WikiProject_X:
WikiProject X seeks to create better tools for Wikipedian editors
collaborating around common interest areas.  Previously funded
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/WikiProject_X twice through
Individual Engagement Grants, the project piloted new features for several
WikiProjects, including Women in Red
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red.  This
grant will replace the multiple disparate modules of WikiProject X with a
new extension, CollaborationKit.  This improvement will offer editors a
more seamless, adaptable interface to for productive collaboration.
[3][4][5]. - Timeless: Post-deployment support
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Isarra/
Timeless:_Post-deployment_support:
 Timeless is a new volunteer-developed skin designed for editors.  It was
deployed across all Wikimedia projects in 2017, but lacked sufficient
support to address bugs.  This grant will support general improvements to
make Timeless into a more stable and user-friendly product. [6] -
WikidataJS https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/WikidataJS:
 This grant will enable the JavaScript developer community to produce fast,
high quality tools so others can better access information on Wikidata. The
project builds on Maxlath
https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=User:Maxlath’s previous
creation of several Wikidata-related tools:  wikidata-sdk, wikidata-edit,
wikidata-cli, wikidata-filter.  [7][8]Online organizing: two projects
funded - Wiki Loves Monuments international team/2018 coordination
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wiki_
Loves_Monuments_international_team/2018_coordination:
The international coordination team for Wiki Loves Monuments
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments (WLM)
proposes to strengthen the foundation for healthy and sustainable WLM
competitions across the world.  As the project celebrates its 10th
anniversary, its leaders aim to critically rethink the structural framework
of WLM.  This grant will support efforts to gather information from
national leaders, collect and share best practices from across the
community, facilitate the ongoing integration of WLM into Wikidata, and
improve operational processes system-wide. [9][10] - Wikimedia CEE Spring
2018
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wikimedia_CEE_Spring_2018
...
:
This annual international article writing contest generates content from
every country and region in Central and Eastern Europe on 30+ Wikipedias.
CEE Spring’s remarkable community spirit plays a central role in fostering
a thriving, collaborative volunteer base in the region. The grant will
incentivize content creation focused on closing the gender gap, expanding
minority language Wikipedias, and showcasing the cultural heritage of
Central and Eastern Europe. [11]Offline outreach: five projects funded -
BlackLunchTable/BLT 2018
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/BlackLunchTable/BLT_2018:
 As an organization, BlackLunchTable http://www.theblacklunchtable.com/
seeks to create a more truthful and inclusive historical account by
inviting people to write the histories of their own culture.  In this
project, they will host a series of edit-a-thons with the aim of recruiting
editors of color and women editors to write biographical articles about
notable artists of the African diaspora.  The project will primarily focus
on English Wikipedia. [12][13] - Wiki In Africa/Wiki Loves Women 2018
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wiki_In_
Africa/Wiki_Loves_Women_2018:
In 2016, Wiki Loves Women
http://www.wikiafrica.org/wiki-loves-women/wiki-loves-women/ launched in
West Africa in an effort to address the content gap about women in Africa.
This project continues the Wiki Loves Women initiative and expands into two
new countries in East Africa -- Tanzania and Uganda.  The project seeks to
raise women’s visibility on Wikipedia, create structural supports for the
development of Wikimedia groups, and encourage women’s participation as
leaders, partners, and editors. [14][15] - New Zealand Wikipedian at Large
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/New_
Zealand_Wikipedian_at_Large:
Through a series of short residencies with multiple institutions,
Giantflightlessbirds
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Giantflightlessbirds will leverage
his expertise as a museum curator to establish a networked community of
GLAM contributors in New Zealand.  Through training and support activities,
he aims to generate continued long-term contributions to Wikipedia, Commons
and Wikidata. [16][17] - Wiki loves Rural Areas - Bimenes
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wiki_
loves_Rural_Areas_-_Bimenes:
In August 2017, Asturian Wikipedians celebrated 50,000 articles in the
rural area of Bimenes, Spain. This project expands on previous community
engagement work done in this rural municipality to continue improving
Asturian-language content. This will be done through partnerships with
multiple cultural institutions, coordination of image donations, and direct
training with local residents with a particular focus on encouraging
participation by women. [18] - Outreach in Northern Nigeria
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Outreach_
in_Northern_Nigeria:
The Hausa Wikipedia is one of the smallest Wikipedias, in terms of the
quantity of articles per speaker, yet Hausa is spoken by large populations
in Northern Nigeria, Southern Niger, and other parts of West and Central
Africa. This proposal aims to encourage the development of Wikimedia
projects for Hausa Wikipedia in Northern Nigeria by organizing workshops in
the cities of Kaduna and Kano, by engaging in long-term institutional
partnerships at large universities in those cities, and by translating help
and support materials for new editors in Hausa. [19]On June 14, we will
host a Project Showcase https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFjo8wg4wKw for
new grantees to talk about their projects.  All are welcome to attend this
publicly streamed event.  A recording will be available afterward. We
encourage MediaWiki developers, communication specialists, project
managers, community liaisons, Wikimedia Foundation staff to attend. [20]The
open call for Project Grants 2018 Round Two
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project will launch on November
1,
2018, with applications due November 30, 2018. [21]We are seeking new
candidates for the Project Grants Committee.  If you or someone you know
might be interested in serving on the committee, please contact
