Regarding this edit, I agree. It wasn't in the original template, and was added by an eager volunteer who thought they were doing the right thing. I removed it earlier today from the template and am currently removing it from all usages. -- Philippe 07:14, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just echoing what Philippe said. It was added by a well-intentioned volunteer, and hopefully they understand now that it wasn't appropriate. Thanks for the catch, GerardM! --Eekim 07:45, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gerard,

With regards to this edit; Eugene and I would like to encourage the use of the strategy wiki as a place where proposals of all types related to Wikimedia or its projects can be posted. Think of it as a brainstorming space, and don't worry much about what should or shouldn't go here; we'll separate all that out later. -- Philippe 20:26, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is a limited amount of time I have available to follow the strategic planning wiki. With subjects like this, I find that my time is wasted. Where you say that you will separate it out later you are right, but at this stage I find it more and more problematic to participate as a result. Thanks, GerardM 21:07, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The proposals now display in categories on the Call for proposals page - hopefully that will help keep some of the noise down for you... -- Philippe 21:53, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

EU grant

I was trying to get my action items but I can't without a URL for the grant you mentioned and I asked about at Proposal_talk:Volunteer_grant_writing_support -- would that one be a good test grant? 75.55.199.5 22:32, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I do not answer on strategic things to ME to anonymous users. Thanks, GerardM 22:52, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vertaling oproepbrief

GerardM, beste collega, kun je meelezen met de vertaling van een brief van Michael/Jimbo die over 10 dagen de deur uit moet, zie Call for participation/Appeal letter/nl. Tenminste, als je zin en tijd hebt om vertaalwerk te corrigeren. Dedalus 18:09, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
