Hehe, I am glad you liked the changes Flo. Feel free to start adding some yourself if you know any successful examples. It doesn't take very long :).
Everybody, this is an excellent place to broadcast your Chapter's great idea(s) to the international community and really help other Chapters! It will already now be beneficial for us in the Swedish chapter as we have created a rather massive list of possible national funds (where our chapter can apply for grants) and we are about to start formulate a bunch of applications the coming weeks. Good ideas that have been successful in other countries will then be very valuable and can be used as possible examples or potential partners in our applications.
Please spread the word and encourage your boards/chapter staff to spend a few minutes on doing this! :)
Cheers,
John

Very much better !!
Now, just need to motivate chapters to fill in :)

Hmm, that is very strange. There seem to be some kind of bug when sending from a Hotmail account to this list. I did not structure the text like that and the part "List of successful grant applications" was a link to the page. I have added a print screen- picture of how the messaged looked when I sent it. I have not had that problem on any other Wikimedia email list as far as I know. I hope someone can fix that asap.
Now to the point: I thank you Flo for sending out the link! I also agree with you that the summary was hard read in the list. I do however really think that a summary is central in order to make people inspired and give them a better feeling for the project and that a sortable list have a lot of advantages. Do you have any suggestions how to structure the list differently? I tried adding the the summary in a footnote and made some other minor changes. Is that better?
Kind regards,
John Andersson

For the lazy: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_successful_grant_applications
Practically, I think big tables should be limited to cases where there isnt a huge amount of text to read. The summary column is hard to read.

Hi everybody,
Today I created a page on Outreach called List of successful grant applications. I hope that you will add your Chapter's success stories there!
Based on what grant applications we know have worked in other countries we can copy the successful ones when we apply for external funding. This will help speed things up and hence, increase our efficiency and our external funding. This would be especially valuable for smaller Chapters. If you have suggestions on how to improve the page I encourage you to be bold!
So please add your examples there and let the successful examples of other Chapters inspire you!
All the best,
John
