Project Background[edit]
- When do you intend to begin this project and when will it be completed?
- I intend to work on this from 29 November to 18 December.
Here is the detailed timeline of the project; We will try to complete the translations of the Movement Charter content by 7 December. From 7 December to 12 December, we will conduct online conversations with the community. During this time, we will be taking feedback from the Telugu language community.
The feedback collected from these meetings will be published on Meta-Wiki from 12 December to 18 December.
- Where will your project activities be happening?
- The project activities will be happening Online.
- Are you collaborating with other communities or affiliates on this project? Please provide details of how partners intend to work together to achieve the project goal.
- I as the project manager will be doing most of my work by myself, including translation and reporting on meta. If possible, we would be taking lessons from other MC Ambassadors for better coordination of the project.
- What specific challenge will your project be aiming to solve? And what opportunities do you plan to take advantage of to solve the problem?
- Since, Movement Charter is an important plan, we will be implementing this project to make MC reach our community so that our community is also involved in this. Translation of MC content will be the main step so that our small community can engage with the MC.
I will be organising the meetings with the community members so that they know more about the MC and take feedback from them about the same and report it on Meta.

Neutral: There is a discussion happening on Telugu WP:VP about this grant after grantee notified about this project. Among 4 responses in that discussion, 3 of them were not supporting the grant and asking critical questions like non-engamenent with community, unreasonably high budget, etc., Grantee is not responding to those questions in Telugu Wikipedia and only engaging in meta which is not a healthy way of engaging community. Plus - Grantee looks like avoiding to provide link to the Telugu Wikipedia discussion about this grant here even after I suggested doing so in this grant's talk page. Here is the link. Overall, I think budget is too highand grantee is not collaborative with community to take this forward. --Pavan Santhosh Surampudi (talk) 19:13, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
