In the short term, we decided to scale down our initial proposal, and work on building up our Technical Support & Capacity Building areas.

This convenience will enable us to adjust our internal structures and generate a cohesive group that can carry out more ambitious projects in the future. We also believe that this aspect can yield the highest return in a short period for the impacted communities.


 * Technical Support framework: We aim to offer training and online assistance in navigating Wikimedia tools for underserved communities.


 * Community calls or Office Hours with the Community: we believe there is a need for a space for discussion, involving Wikimedia Foundation decision-makers, affiliates, and emerging projects.
 * During these calls, we can host workshop sessions or masterclasses for navigating Phabricator among other tools.
 * We can also host meetings to offer feedback to WMF teams working on apps for new language projects
 * We plan to host community call meetings once every two months during community calls every two months during this grant period we aim to hold four community meetings (Aug, Oct, Dec, Feb)., and reach out to at least 20 community members in each of the meetings.
 * Consulting calls: we also intend to have a list of experts in various wiki areas that can serve as direct support, focused through the hub. We plan to have counseling sessions between wiki-experts and newcomers. Those wiki-experts will also be invited to be part of the programmatic work of the hub.
 * We plan to have at least two one-on-one calls per month, completing 6 in the grant period, aiming to reach different community members for underserved languages. We plan to document these calls in Meta-Wiki and follow up in case further support is needed.


 * Community Building Framework: We aim to provide resources and best practices for fostering a vibrant community.

Understanding how difficult it is to find resources in our movement. We plan to create a website and social media profiles to organize community resources and reach potential contributors outside the movement.


 * Language Revitalization Tools: building on what other groups such as Wikitongues are already doing,  we want to create documents and video tutorials for the community, mostly focused on how to use different aspects of our platform, making them easy to digest and easy to translate.
 * Wikipedia Incubator Fast Track: We want to generate resources for better user interaction with Incubator, and we want to produce a quick orientation tool for newcomers or people looking to use the platform. We also want to start keeping consistent data on the projects currently in the incubator, and their status (alive, dormant, etc.) and link this information with relevant stakeholders.


 * Building the next phase of the Language Diversity Hub
 * We want to continue the programmatic work, so we think that face-to-face meetings are essential for this initiative, especially after three years of online work. We want to have two working days during the Celtic Knot 2024 in Ireland, where we will coordinate the execution of this project, the ramp-up of the steering committee, and plan a larger impact meeting for the year 2025.
