What was "the initial software development team"?[edit]

The statement mentions "the initial software development team, actively engaged since June 2022, on site". What does that mean? Was this team employees of WMDE or WMID? Ainali talkcontributions 18:29, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ainali, the team was initially employed by WMID. They now contribute to the collaboration as freelancers. Maria Lechner (WMDE) (talk) 18:24, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Budget spent so far[edit]

How much of the Budget has been spent so far and how much budget is left. Hogü-456 (talk) 18:21, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The two currently running projects have been awarded €227.082 (Wikidata Software Collaboration Indonesia) and €199.750 (Wiki Mentor Afrika) of the total grant (€822.800) provided by the Arcadia Fund. As we at WMDE predict an underspending for both projects until the end of the project period (December 2024), we are happy to re-allocate remaining funds via our Call for Software Contributions. This will ensure that the potential underspending will be used to benefit the Wikidata community and beyond. Maria Lechner (WMDE) (talk) 09:52, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
