Call for Software Contributions

[edit]

You got questions in regards to the call that aren't covered in our FAQs? Reach out to us here! Maria Lechner (WMDE) (talk) 17:47, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Publishing funding per project

[edit]

Please publish the funding per project. I think it is important to offer transparency regarding that topic. Hogü-456 (talk) 18:24, 1 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your suggestion! Currently, the application for the Call is still open. After the final selection of projects proposed, WMDE will announce grantees and their project ideas, including funds to be allocated to each project on the project page. Exact funding depends on support needed to realize the projects proposed. Maria Lechner (WMDE) (talk) 09:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wikicurricula

[edit]

Hello! I'm Nat from Wikimedistas de Uruguay. We have been working on this project which relies on Wikidata to display school curriculum topics. We currently use the query service only. One of the features we want to implement may benefit from using the Wikidata Rest API, but I'd like to discuss it in a call before applying, since I have some doubts about it. Are you available at the beginning of next week? Thanks and sorry for such a short notice. Piracalamina (talk) 18:33, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Piracalamina thanks for reaching out! Will get back to you shortly. Maria Lechner (WMDE) (talk) 06:22, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Is a Wikidata project considered a "user group"?

[edit]

This is unclear to me. AWesterinen (talk) 16:22, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for reaching out, @AWesterinen! Our open call is addressed to Wikimedia movement affiliates. Wikimedia movement affiliates include chapters, user groups, and thematic organizations (for more details on on the differences of those three affiliate models please visit Wikimedia movement affiliates/Models). A Wikidata project does not fall into any of those three categories. If you are not part of a chapter, user group, or thematic organization but still want to participate in our open call, you can reach out Wikimedia movement affiliates and ask for fiscal sponsorship.
