Google Groups: You've been added to Wikimedia-l

Some disturbing news entered my mailbox the past days. The grant making team is going to shut down the grantmaking process for Project and Event Grants (PEG) and Individual Engagement Grants (IEG) for three full months! They have decided that they want to focus only on a specific strategic priority: the gender gap, and that all other good projects are refused for 3 months (February-April) Good projects to be ignored, just because the WMF think those are less important. They say this is a positive campaign, but this sounds as a negative campaign to me. This discourages many volunteers in doing projects.With increasing vandalism and disruption the WMF seems looking to close some mailing lists for lack of volunteers. This is a negative signal to all those volunteers who are currently working on project plans. As LGBT related proposals will presumably be amongst the first to be rejected, a small actively moderated external mailing list for action is formed.
