Hoi, I have posted http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IFAP it is an outline for a proposal for a $45.000,- grant. We need to apply before the 20th of this month. Please, do understand that if we apply for this grant, we have to spend money the way we describe. It does not help if you think we should not spend the money. We either do or we do not apply and, that way we do not benefit and neither do the people who benefit most who are incidentally not the people who get paid.
This proposal aims to achieve three things: * cooperation with the Open Office org by creating a dictionary integrated into wiktionary for languages they work on. This is a win win situation *a dictionary and translations dictionary that helps translators and students of languages; wiktionary is a many to many dictionary *better functionality for wiktionary that will prevent a lot of double work and removes the need for running bots to share our work.
I hope we agree that this is a feasible project and that we can move forward with this proposal.
Thanks. GerardM
IIRC such mails should go to only Wiktionary-l and Foundation-l.
