I thought WMF board is chosen by Wikimedians and Wikimedia Foundation has
the help to all WMF projects in its basical documents. So next time, we
should chose just those candidates to he board, who will be willing to to
give some portion of help.
I heard from WMF related people, that other projects are not so efficient,
so they dont have more help. But they will never be more efficent without a
help as they grow in the "shade of Wikipedia". If you provide them more
light (in this case support from mother organisation) - they will have more
equal conditions to Wikipedia and they can show up to be the same or more
efficient as wp.
I am really sad to here voices in our chapter, we will not help other
projects, because WMF doesnt support them. Its really sad. When I enter to
the chapter I had to agree with the bylaws, that sais the Chapter is the
local support for WMF project in the area. There is no word about
inequality between project.

I could maybe find money as Wikimedia Italy, but:
* who would take care of the project? do we have a name for a developer?
* how much would it cost?
* do we have a plan or some specifics?
If we have these things, money is the least of the problems. We can ask
for a GAC grant as Wikisource Community User Group too, directly to the WMF.

In my opinion, VE is a priority thing to develop
in Wikisource. Catalan
community is a VE-friendly. If three chapters funded a developer during few
month, we would get it. I could try to ask money to Amical.

Again, money is not the problem.
Well, APG is about money so they talk about money there. But I do
remember WMF coming at us and asking what's the "legitimacy" of spending
resources (not necessarily financial) on sister projects. That drives me
crazy.
