Ramesh,
We do expect a significant amount of applications though the actual number of scholarships
in limited. I cannot give a number at present as it the final number depends on
mathematical calculations.
The idea is to provide full or partial support to those Wikipedians who really want to
attend but cannot afford it monetary wise. For those who can bear their own cost - of
travel or accommodation or have someone they can stay with in Mumbai, we encourage them
not to apply for scholarships or apply for part scholarships as necessary so that those
who need it most can benefit from it.
In true Wikipedian spirit, we assume utmost good faith and request everyone applying for
the scholarships to practice the same.
Kind Regards,
From: rameshng(a)gmail.com

Yes - but please let us not use this list for such private queries. We have a number of
submissions, and the form seems to be working fine. If anyone has a general problem with
making it work, that is a valid query for this list.
We need to step up the availability of the form in different languages, for which I urge
listmembers here to please spread the word to the language lists. As a corollary to this,
we need to be sure that the googledoc form will allow us to merge all the submissions in
different languages, and if this feature is not possible, we need to evolve a process for
harmonisation of the different spreadsheets/forms. People with expertise on using the
forms feature on Google spreadsheets please do volunteer.

Hi Vickram,
I filled out the scholarship form early this morning (an hour after you posted it). Can I
know if the form was submitted successfully? Thanks!

Applications are invited for travel/boarding scholarships for WikiConference India 2011.
There are a very limited number of such scholarships, and it is also possible to apply for
partial assistance, in case you can handle part of the costs on your own - doing so will
ensure that more Wikipedians will be able to get assistance. Provisions have been made for
participants from special interest groups. Applications will be welcomed until Aug 15, and
the decision process will be completed by the first week of September 2011. Please study
the form carefully before submission.
We look forward to plenty of active participation at the conference, with the help of all
Wikipedians.
