Follow-up questions on your grant application from the ESEAP Funds Committee and Programme Officer

Hello @HuwacBasaw1234,

Hope you are well. Thank you for putting in a grant application. These are consolidated inputs from the review of your grant application. The following points are for your further response:

Consolidated feedback on community engagement

1) 申請人提供的頁面遭到了刪除，申請人未能提供證據證明社群成員已充分參與了討論. Could you provide supporting information on how you have notified the community and if they have indicated an interest to participate?

Consolidated feedback on proposed budget

2) Seems expensive for just adding 50 wiktionary.

3) 除了購置1000美元的錄影機外，預算的其他部分是合理的.

Consolidated feedback on learning and evaluation

4) While the applicant showed that the proposal can be recorded in sharing experiences for similar proposals, its contribution to Seediq and Wikita may appear very modest.

Consolidated questions, comments and recommendations for the grant applicant

5) In your proposed timeline, there is a planned Wikipedia writers and editors symposium in August-September 2024: what is this activity about? (Is it a training or only meetup?)

6) These sample projects on Wiktionary could be useful for your reference. a) For example you could consider implementing recording audio same as WikiSwara: [1]https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:WikiSwara_(Kunirasem) Presented in ESEAP 2022: [2]https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WikiSwara_ESEAP_Conference_2022_Kunirasem.pdf

b) Also, there’s WikiTutur which (Wiktionary x Lingua Libre): https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Programs/Wikimedia_Community_Fund/Rapid_Fund/WikiTutur:Kolaborasi_Wiktionary_dan_Lingua_Libre_untuk_Pelestarian_Bahasa_di_Indonesia_(ID:_22378290) Results: [3]https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:WikiTutur_by_programs

7) Revise the application and offer more contributions to Wikimedia projects. What other metrics can be measured for this project? Perhaps you can also refer to your previous grant application to recap how you have suggested a variety of metrics for your grant, and also refer to your final report to examine what other unexpected outcomes were delivered from your previous project that you could also include for this application.

8) On funding travel and equipment through rapid fund, note that Equipment purchase is allowed for groups, organizations and affiliates. Equipment-based grants need to clearly demonstrate how the equipment will be shared with other community members. An equipment log or list must be publicly available for community members and included in the application. Here is an example of an asset page of an affiliate - Deoband Community Wikimedia/Assets.

9) Given this is your second grant application, we would recommend setting up a meta page for your wikimedia community. Samples of meta pages of other affiliates: Wiki Advocates Philippines User Group Paiwan Wikimedians User Group You can consider adding this as one of the metrics for this grant.

Thank you.

您好：

1.我們賽德克族維基百科社群，擁有固定的參與對象（年輕人），而我們都是使用LINE群組召集人員討論，並經過討論我們要執行的事項，完成溝通後就會請大家到各大LINE群組、IG, FB廣為宣傳，讓大家知道且參與我們。

2.因為每一個詞典的詞彙都需要到部落找耆老做採集，因路途遙遠且錄音及錄影的整理也都需要使用大量的時間，因此50個字點對我們來說算是非常豐富了。

3.因為上一次買了一台攝影機，發現在採集的過程中設備不足，如果可以再增加一台讓我們用不同角度捕捉畫面跟聲音會更棒，同時也能一台錄影而另一台拍照作為紀錄，或者一台沒電另一台可以作為預備。

4.最近因本人工作業務較為繁忙，這陣子比較沒人多的時間對維基百科做貢獻，而我又是賽德克維基百科社群召集人，所以我不做大家也會不知道該怎麼做，因此從現在起我已經重新召集大家，繼續為維基百科做更多的貢獻。

5.以往的編輯研討會除了培訓大家和鼓勵大家要寫維基百科以外，也是一個增能研習，讓家家更熟稔對於編輯維基百科的各項技巧，同時培育出可以接棒帶領整個社群的人，使社群永續的經營。最後招集大家研討會也是能培養大家的感情互相認識及交流，最重要的是推廣。

其餘建議我們虛心指教並加以改善，謝謝。 HuwacBasaw1234 (talk) 03:57, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Your grant application has been approved

Hello @HuwacBasaw1234

Thank you for your detailed responses to the follow-ups questions.

Congratulations! Your grant application has been approved in the amount of TWD 150,000 from 1 June 2024 to 31 December 2024.

Let’s continue having regular conversations over the course of your grant implementation. Please let me know if you require support in any way or would like to share your experiences with a wider community through the Let's Connect Programme or at ESEAP community meetings.

Note on grant funding amount

In your award letter/email, you may observe that the USD equivalent may be different from that floating exchange rate on Oanda. This is because (at the moment) we apply a pre-set exchange rate for each grant as determined by the WMF Finance team. That said, I've published on meta the approved amount in your local currency and we can use that as a common reference point.

We know even the best thought through plans may change.

In the event that there are changes to your implementation schedule, you can reach out to request for a grant extension (i.e. extend end date). Similarly, if there is a surplus budget or changes to your planned budget, you can reach out to me about reallocation (via email and on this talkpage). There is also the option to have the unspent funds deducted against a future grant. More details here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Return_unused_funds_to_WMF

Additional resources which may be useful

• The reporting requirements and templates for the grant can be found here. All reports are to be completed and submitted via Fluxx.
• Timelines for reporting can be found in your grant agreement or on Fluxx.
• Instructions for post award: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Processing/Grantee_Portal/Post_award
• Documenting project expenses: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Documenting_project_expenses

Recommendations

• For future grant applications, we recommend building out a more comprehensive metrics section (reference - (7)).
• For this grant application, we would like to highlight (8) and (9) for inclusion into your implementation plan. It would be also useful to flag that these considerations have been taken into account in your final report, where possible.

We thank you for your participation in the grant application process and hope to continue to journey with you as you embark on this project. Good luck!
