New name - Annual Plan Grants[edit]
- FDC portal will be renamed and moved to grants namespace, Grants:APG
- Many previous pages will be archived and deprecated to the new pages.
Landing page[edit]
The landing page will be the first result from searches on Meta and the destination of links from Grants:Start, mails and banners. It will contain:
- Announcements
- Including a note to watch this page for future announcements (and whether they'd like to join a list to receive announcements and updates related to the FDC's work)
- Button 1 to the start info for entities/people starting proposals (audience 1)
- Button 2 to general info for everyone else (audience 2)
- Link to a single question/discussion page for all APG issues not related to specific proposals
Audience 1 - Entities[edit]
- Who is this audience? Entities are groups applying to the FDC for funding.
What do they need to know?
- Schedule

- A general outline of the process
- A button to begin a proposal
Audience 2 - General/Community members[edit]

Open questions[edit]
- How should we handle the calendar, as the "current" schedule has gotten unwieldy.
- One major calendar with all dates, so that at a glance one can find where the process stands.
- Separate schedules dedicated to each round and found only on relevant pages/proposals.
