My name is Yanna and I'm interested in this mobilizing Wikidata idea. I have read the thread about the topic and I agree with the idea that we can first use MobileFront to see the result.
Then you have probably seen that there is another candidate interested in this project as well.
Showing proof of skills and previous projects is good for any applicant, but in cases with concurrent candidates it is even more important since we will need to choose between different people going after a same project.
I can also imagine the situation in which we will prioritize one candidate over another, but we will still believe that the second candidate may have option get accepted with another project. Having a second project idea in mind will be good in these cases.
We will do our best resolving priorities in these situations, in order to give as much time as possible to candidates working on an alternative project proposal.
