Financial state
In 2013 we hadn't bank account, regular incomes or regular outcomes. We asked for grant from Wikimedia Foundation for training about the system WikiTrans (see above), which was rejected. The necessary fund was provided by grant requested by project's partner E@I from Esperanto movement source. Some of our activities was done during Wikimedia meetings (Wikimania, WikiCon) with no additional money needed. All another costs was covered from personal sources of particular volunteer.
