Hello Tito,
Many of us are already doing this but before making it a more formal
process/ part of a best practice some issues need our attention. This
brings the question of active adminship of the Wikimediaindia-l mailing
list. Many times, mails to Wikimediaindia-l mailing list did not appear in
the list even after several days. Sometimes mails got published (do not
know technicality, so excuse me for using these terms) even after several
days of the deadline/event/activity. I do not know the reasons or issues in
maintaining the list, but thought it would be helpful to bring this up now.
To sum up: If we aim to get state-level, project-level, and other kinds of
grants posted here, we need to help several communities and many community
members understand the necessity, but in the first place, we need to fix
issues in maintaining this space before asking them to come here and post.
I believe we can do it together and would like to see comments from other
community members too.
Regards,
Pavan.

Namaskara,
This might be some food for thought, and inputs are welcome. India mailing
list is the largest and most widely used Wikimedia mailing list for the
Indian community. Could we have a practice that all grant requests from the
country (or related to) are informed on the Wikimediaindia-l mailing list?
Whether it is a state-level, project-level, language-level etc, or whether
it is a rapid grant, project grant etc it would be good to see the plan
details on this mailing list in advance. It will ensure greater visibility,
and it will also ensure the community's understanding/knowing of each
other's projects.
If we can have a practice like this, we can inform Wikimedia, or CR team
or relevant support structure(s) as an India community practice.
This post is in my personal capacity. Please assume good faith
