Dear Wikimedians,
Some responses here on Meta [1] on behalf of CIS. I have also commented
in my individual capacity on the statutory aspects to the best of my
knowledge. Also see some in-line replies.

As you may have already seen in the budget, please note that the salary
proposed is for 7 employees on the CIS-A2K team and the average per
person salary would come to less than 1 lakh per month, per person and
not as stated above.
CIS-A2K welcomes your feedback and suggestions.
Thank you,
Vishnu

Fellow Wikimedians,
As you all know, Center for Internet and Society, Bangalore has sought
funding of about *1.8 Crores* through the FDC process from Wikimedia
Foundation to carry out work on seven local language projects in India that
includes Kannada, Telugu among others. [1]
The funds primarily cover the salaries of the people belonging to the
CIS-A2K team among other administrative expenses and other expenses as
outlined on their proposal page.
The proposal was up for Community review and comments until April 30th and
many have recorded their response about it [2]. Several community members
have come forward in pointing out that the staff salaries being paid and
that being proposed - are quite on the higher side (which is up to 2.4
Lakhs per month per person).
Apart from the concerns on extremely high salaries for Indian norms of the
team members of CIS-A2K team, there have been some serious concerns raised
about some apparent Conflict of Interest [3] and non-compliance with the
local laws (mainly Karnataka Societies act and the Foreign Contribution
Regulation Act).
However, looks like the proposal has moved forward through the FDC process
for funding despite the concerns raised and has gotten through to the next
stage.
More concerns have now been raised by several community members on the
Staff Assessment discussion page here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:APG/Proposals/2013-2014_round2/…
I invite you to participate in the discussion and help steer this in the
right direction.

Thanks Nitika for the update,
I went through the link that you have provided.
Regarding language selection criteria, one of the point out of four given
points, is:
>>*Willingness of that particular language community to interact and engage
with the A2K team.* Though we tried approaching other language communities,
>>we were given to understand that they would like to consider engaging
with us at a later point. We have respected the community's decision and
are open to
>>work with a couple of language areas later in time.
Did you approach Gujarati Wikipedia in similar manner? I have kept two
admins of Guj. wiki. so that they also come to know about my question.
*>>Familiarity of the A2K team members with the language.* Each of us are
editors/can edit in most of the above language Wikipedias.
>>This will give us an insider's perspective of what is happening in that
particular language community and the Wikimedia projects.
that is mentioned as the last point, it sounds like this was the only
criterion that worked towards selection of languages. and I feel it is nice
way to say that "these are the languages that we like and hence we started
working on it.
Awaiting some lights on this.
Best regards,

Thank you Ravi for making us aware that WMF is happily funding content
generation (or in nicer term Content upload) as Asaf from WMF and User Blue
Rasberry have suggested. This is a great news for my Gujarati wikisource
community, whom I am including in this reply.
Dear Gujarati Wiki Community,
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.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:APG/Proposals/2013-2014_round2/…
Get as much benefit you get of WMF's this offer.
Hi Asaf,
Can the community claim back the money that would have hypothetically been
paid to if they applied for the grant before they started uploading the
content of rare literature?
