FDC

I am a newly elected to be a member of the Funds Dissemination Committee. I see that you yesterday updated t~he main portal page and templates to make the group official on the pages which is good. I do have a general uneasisness for the page Funds Dissemination Committee though which seems to mostly hold info of historical interest. Could yopu help to do something with tha page, renamne it to the namen used on the portal page, or just point to the FDC portal/2012 FDC members, or clearly state is contains no longer correct info?Anders Wennersten (talk) 14:59, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your changes that takes care of my concerns. Anasuya also in a mail mention the need of a workspace for the committee, in which I fully agree, but expect this to be handled by her/you as a team.Anders Wennersten (talk) 05:39, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Heather! Sorry, i didnt realise the templates surfaced in the proposal list... My goal was to group all proposals, since it was confusing to have them all scattered on the main FDC category. I think it is easier to find them and go through them when they are in a specific category. Lusitana (talk) 17:17, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Seems you worked it out!

Hi Heather, You are doing an excellent job! I really liked the FDC tab template and it will really ease our work. I was going to suggest you to exclude the table of contents somehow as I am not that good with coding. Seems you've already figured that out:) Can you please increase the width of the template about an inch? There is still some blank space on the right hand side of the screen. Additionally, is it possible to add a visual editor to fill in the forms and tables. It will make the tab system work better & entities will find it very easy to fill in. Thanks a lot once again. - Ali Haidar Khan (Tonmoy) (talk) 21:23, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

I chãngedd the Template:FDC tabs so that all the discsusion of the proposals comes from the same page. And I moved the one that was on another page (Australia).Anders Wennersten (talk) 14:16, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Grammatical error/suboptimal word choice on FDC template

Hi Heather, the HTML comment on the top of Template:FDC proposal hub says that all changes to the template should be run by you, so ... there's a grammatical error/suboptimal word choice in the template: "Results from the staff review" should be "Results of the staff review". I'd appreciate it if this could be fixed. Thanks! Graham87 (talk) 08:59, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Hey there. I was just looking at your note and noticed that you made the change yourself. The grammar and such are not my purview, in general it's best to take those things regarding the FDC portal pages up on their respective talk pages. Thanks! heather walls (talk) 09:12, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

(after edit conflict) OK thanks for letting me know. I found some tweaks that needed to be made at FDC portal/Request evaluation, recommendation, and decision-making process so I just made them rather than trying to explain them (which would have taken much longer). So I thought I may as well edit the template while I'm there. Hope you don't mind. Graham87 (talk) 09:18, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Okay! All of the documents and templates are going to be reviewed in the next few weeks before round 2 really gets going, I'm sure improvements will be appreciated. heather walls (talk) 09:25, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

You do now!

Thanks for your elegant work on the IEG pages. --Pine^✉ 09:14, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Re: IEG

I did add some comment, and I think my edits are enough to show the point. Anyway I'm done with this round of reading for those pages, and I'll consider buying a wider screen to fit the graphics for next round. --Nemo 17:59, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Re: Undo

I just saw it listed on Special:UncategorizedCategories, which I'm trying to clear. Is there any specific reason why it shouldn't display in the other category? Can it be added to Category:IEG/Proposals or Category:Individual Engagement Grants instead? πr² (t • c) 22:56, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
