Hello all,
Greetings, We are delighted to inform you about A2K has been supporting
communities for their initiatives to organise events to achieve the growth
of all Wikimedia projects. During Indic Wikisource Proofread-a-thon, A2K is
glad to support small, one-day events organised by Wikimedians in their
localities to bring in new editors, and co-working with existing editors.
The overall objectives of these events would be - peer learning of new
members with experienced editors, learning of new skills from each other,
joy of collaborative working and enriching own Wiki projects with quality
contributions.
To apply for financial support for your event, submit your request to the
link below.
