It would be nice if the Language allocations are much more elaborate. I understand that, its difficult to put that on a paper. But, if we get to know, how much A2K-CIS is planning for outreach/technical programs/any other expenses, we can have a draft ready on behalf of Telugu Wikipedia as to how they could be put to right use. Its good on your part sharing the budget. It not only gives a transparency, but also, lets some people understand the minute expenses that on a smaller scale are ignored but on a yearly view, they become huge!

Dear All,
In our effort to increase transparency with the working of CIS-A2K programme, we are sharing with you the A2K Programme Budget along with the Utilization for the period Sept. 2012 to February 2013 [1]. We intended to share this with you by mid April, but it got delayed, as we felt the need to propose revisions to the budget in the context of the A2K Work Plans. Apologies for this delay.
The proposed revisions to the budget along with some notes are here [2]. We would appreciate your feedback and suggestions on this. Based on the feedback received from you, we will approach the Wikimedia Foundation seeking for approval of the revised budget. It will be very useful to hear from you on the proposed revisions to the A2K grant budget before May 20, 2013.
Looking forward to your feedback.
Warmly, Vishnu Programme Director Access to Knowledge Programme CIS
