Rationale
editThe original budget proposal was significantly higher than in the accepted grant, and was designed to support a larger project. This was revised down to support just an initial exploration, with an (off-record) promise of being reinstated should the exploratory period be successful.
After this was over, the funding was not forthcoming so the project could not be completed and lost momentum. I have continued to make an effort to find alternative funding from elsewhere, but I have not managed to successfully secure any, and while some of this project could feasibly be continued with volunteers, the extensions to CORE are necessary and have an unavoidable spend associated with them.
While I think the initial exploration was promising, and the project remains relevant, the grants committee have asked me to close out this project since there is little activity and I'm not able to use the remaining funding.
- Thank you for this explanation, Ed. I'm approving this extension request for a new end date of July 1. I'll be in touch by email to schedule a time to talk about possible next steps. Cheers, --Marti (WMF) (talk) 12:21, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
