Note the suggestion: set aside $1m of tech resources for community-chosen work.
Heck, projects other than Wikipedia might get the slightest attention.
WMDE has done this since 2010 with WissenWert and they budgeted 250.000 € for 2013, they'd surely have the competence to expand it (if they want). I've added some links to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants Maybe the FDC could kindly ask them to take a million instead of what they asked, and make it global. ;)
