Subject: [Wikitech-l] Technical expertise needed for Individual Engagement Grant proposals!
To: labs-l@lists.wikimedia.org, wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org


Hey folks,

Applicants for the current round of Individual Engagement Grants (IEG) have
submitted many proposals that involve new tools, bot tasks, and other
technical elements.  I’ve provided the list of these proposals and brief
descriptions below.

Your feedback in these technical proposals is requested!  If one of these
ideas interests you, consider reading it over, and feel free to endorse,
express concerns, make suggestions, and ask questions.  Your input and
expertise will help the applicants develop better proposals, and support
the IEG Committee during their evaluation. Comments are requested until
October 19th.

With thanks,

Jethro
