Hi Lila, et al
I have some one question for you.
I am having a very hard time wrapping my head around how the grant information you posted lead to WMF BoT voting James Heilman of the board in a vote of no-confidence.
Something just doesn't add up here.
Any chance you can publish the actual grant application from the WMF to the Knight Foundation?
I am guessing that the devil will be in those details; details which thus far the WMF has kept completely under wraps.
I look forward to you releasing the grant application at your earliest convenience.
Warm regards,
Ruslan Takayev

Hi Anthony,
I know this request was for the Board, but I took time to explain as much as I could about the context of this grant and the work it funds as well as to answer as many questions as possible that I have seen. I realize many people a curious about what it actually funds, so you will find the statement of work cut and pasted there.

Hope this answers some of your questions, Lila

Just copying part of Andreas's comment from another thread:
"...can the board now please come to a decision on whether the Knight Foundation grant letter and grant application documents will be posted on Meta, and if not, provide an explanation to the community why they cannot be made public?
"To recap, Jimmy Wales said over two weeks ago on his talk page[1] that
in
his opinion the documentation should be posted on Meta, to clear the air around this issue. However, nothing appears to have happened since then."
