Thank you Dhaval for confirming that , I was assuming that Gujarati
Wikisource project was coming from Gujarati wiki community. It is mean
that project is CIS own preparation !!!! So why they are not proposed for
others Indic Wikisource project like Bengali, Tamil Telugu, Marathi,
Malayalam?????

Dear Kartikbhai,
That is not the proposal by Gujarati wiki community, it is from CIS. Also,
if you notice, in that proposal, there is no payment to the community, who
will really be putting pain in digitising/uploading/typing/correcting the
content. And on the contrary, CIS staff will be paid a reasonable share
from the grant.
I have my name mentioned in that proposal, for which I have to had provide
declaration on a discussion page of CIS's grant application. I am on my
mobile at the moment so can't find the link to it to share. If anyone wants
to see my comment, let me know and I will share the link.
Yes, of course, the idea on which CIS has built the proposal was from me,
but I had only spoken once soon after wikimenia and then came to know about
proposal just when it was ready. I have had no more involvement in that
proposal apart from initial idea, which was jointly shared by Sushant
Savla, a fellow admin on gu.wikisource.

Please visit the link in below email, where
Wikimedia Foundation
(shortly
known as WMF) is suggesting that they are funding
(in simpler term
paying)
for content upload. This is the task that we all
are doing free of cost
so
far. Because you have uploaded hundreds (may be
thousands) of pages so
far
as we have created 50+ books on gu.wikisource,
all our efforts will be
paid
now by WMF (in fact should have been paid so far
as well). If you have
any
doubt, reach out to User:Bluerasberry and
User:Ijon on meta
(
meta.wikimedia.org). Asaf (User:Ijon) clearly suggests that Bots are
under
the paid activity considered by WMF.
