Well, is on the page: "*A fellowship is a temporary position at the
Wikimedia Foundation in order to work on a specific project or set of
projects. Fellowships can be awarded for periods as short as 2 months and
as long as 12 months. Duration is determined by the scope of the fellow's
project.*"
Being a "Community" Fellow means that your project falls into the Community
Department of WMF.
In a nutshell: If anyone wants to apply for, they need a project to help
the community (not necessary to be the Global one) until 15 Jan and this
project need to be approved by WMF.
