Project scope [edit]
The objective of this grant is to cover the expenses of the process to establish Wikimedia Chile (legal fees, administration, technical infraestructure, etc.) and the main projects that will be developed by the chapter in 2012.
These projects follow the strategy of the chapter along three main areas where Wikimedia Chile will focus in the following years:
- Cultural institutions: Outreach with GLAM institutions in Chile, "Encuentro WikiGLAM Santiago" conference (March 2012), Nacimientos y defunciones proposed project.
- Indigenous languages: Development of Mapudungun Wikipedia and support for Aymara Wikipedia
- Educational efforts: Wikipedia en el aula project with educarchile.cl.
Project goals [edit]
- Establishment of Wikimedia Chile as an official non-profit corporation under Chilean law.
- Ensure participation of Chilean members of the Wikimedia movement, not only people from Santiago.
- Engage with cultural and educational institutions in the main cities of the country.
- Development of projects in indigenous languages (mainly Mapudungun and Aymara).
- Improve Wikimedia movement awareness and engagement in Chile.
- Ensure the good use of the Wikimedia logos and marks.
Non-financial requirements [edit]
It is recommended to send the grant in two or three rounds in different months, in order to reduce involvement of the national tax institution and fees to the bank.
Fit to strategy [edit]
The projects covered by this grant align with the Wikimedia Foundation's strategic plan to increase participation, increase reach and improve quality, especially in countries of the so-called Global South.
- Increase participation: We want to get involved with most of the people of the Chilean community and not just the people in Santiago. Chile is an extremely large country (Punta Arenas is 3,000 km to the south of Santiago, for example). We want to create a real national chapter with participation from people of all over the country.
- Increase reach: We want to get involved with educational communities. Education is a topic really important for the Chilean society right now and we believe that the access to free knowledge can make a difference for children and teachers. Also, we want to incorporate people that has been left behind because their native language doesn't have
- Improve quality: We have been in contact with different cultural institutions to establish cooperation agreements that can improve the quality of the Wikimedia projects and allow the release of documents and archives to the public domain, with a focus on Chilean and Latin American history and heritage.
Other benefits [edit]
We expect to get positive media attention with our projects, which may also persuade more people to give their materials out for free use, to incorporate in our organisation and to become members of the different projects of the Wikimedia Foundation.
Measures of success [edit]
- Establishment of Wikimedia Chile as an official non-profit corporation under Chilean law.
- Agreements with cultural and educational institutions.
- Increase participation at Mapudungun Wikipedia at Incubator and its release as an official project.
