a similar pan India outreach program done by two volunteers for
roughly 13% of this whole Wiki Data Marathon program.
With due respect to what has been done... I don't think this takes into
account the salary component and if it is only travel expenses then
after 3 years the proposed travel budget is comparable. I could not but
notice this in the report // Going forward we will not be able to
contribute actively in these community building efforts due to our
current personal and professional priorities.// which requires some
introspection.
