[Wikimedia-l] Please have a look at the new list of successful grant applications!

[John Andersson]

Hehe, I am glad you liked the changes Flo. Feel free to start adding some yourself if you know any successful examples. It doesn't take very long :). 

Everybody, this is an excellent place to broadcast your Chapter's great idea(s) to the international community and really help other Chapters! It will already now be beneficial for us in the Swedish chapter as we have created a rather massive list of possible national funds (where our chapter can apply for grants) and we are about to start formulate a bunch of applications the coming weeks. Good ideas that have been successful in other countries will then be very valuable and can be used as possible examples or potential partners in our applications. 

Please spread the word and encourage your boards/chapter staff to spend a few minutes on doing this! :)

Cheers,

John

I did not structure the text like that and the part "List of successful grant applications" was a link to the page. I have added a print screen- picture of how the messaged looked when I sent it. I have not had that problem on any other Wikimedia email list as far as I know. I hope someone can fix that asap.

I do however really think that a summary is central in order to make people inspired and give them a better feeling for the project and that a sortable list have a lot of advantages. Do you have any suggestions how to structure the list differently? I tried adding the the summary in a footnote and made some other minor changes. Is that better?
