[Wikimedia-l] Wikimania 2013 scholarship now accepting application

[Liam Wyatt]

Glad to see the process is coming along :-)

Could you please clarify the purpose of one of the mandatory questions in
the form:

" Hong Kong is an international gourmet paradise. Please use less than 200
words to describe your favourite dish of food."

Is this an English-language test? Or, is this to help determine the best
catering options? Or something else?
