more relevant is called InstantCommons and we are waiting
for the special projects committee to finally inform us that we can
start coding.
[[m:InstantCommons]] has nothing much to do with the WM foundation or
its projects, which is what I thought we were discussing?
InstantCommons has to do with WMF and its projects.
The special project committee recently approved the project with the
following resolution :
The SPC recommends the implementation of the InstantCommons project, as
broadly described
[

on meta] and in email to the SPC mailing list; and that the Foundation
seek a grant from Kennisnet to implement InstantCommons, paying the
developers involved itself. The SPC approves a detailed recommendation
regarding the proposal and related contracts, as described
[[InstantCommons/Recommendation|on the SPC wiki]].
It has actually to do with the Foundation because we provided some legal
recommandations with regards to this project, because the Foundation
will seek a grant for it, because the Foundation will handle the
contract with the developer and because it will involve some work from
Brion or Tim (as paid staff).
I just mention this for information, though I do not see very much the
relationship with the Commons main page controversy.
