Hey all,
I came across https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Proposals/2013-2014_round2/Wikime..., and I noticed at the top it says:
'We ask that you please not make any changes directly to this page after the proposal submission date (1 April), but comment on the discussion page."
Can someone please confirm that this actually was the WMF's April Fools joke on us all?
Regards,
Russavia
Which part do you think is a joke? The same notice is posted on all the proposal forms.

No, I think what he's surprised about is that the WMF appears to be asking the FDC for its entire budget of $60,064,000.
Frankly, I'm not sure the FDC can do that, if for no other reason than conflict of interest: the FDC is funded from that budget.

Ah, perhaps Russavia hasn't seen this post from Sue:

In particular the second to last paragraph. The WMF is not only not asking the FDC for its entire budget, it isn't asking the FDC for any money at all. It is inviting comment and participation from the FDC and the community in crafting WMF priorities
