  • The grants program, from memory, has a normal minimal grant of $500, with this fall under. That said, this is a cool project, and you're well positioned to execute it. I would support either waiving the minimum in this situation, or having Tito come back with a bigger plan. Either way, I would really like to see this approved.

  • Hello, $ 50 is sufficient for the project's basic requirements. I can include few more large works with this one, but I don't want to do so, because a) one work at a time, b) though I am saying I'll create "Complete works", I'm expecting, I'll need to create 1000 or so new pages, so there will be some pressure on me. Thanks. --TitoDutta 06:58, 26 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
Hopefully Staff will see it fit to lower the minimum in this case. Barring that, I'll literally just paypal you fifty bucks or something. Thanks for coming up with a fairly unique project idea involving one of our less focused on sister projects that has a lot of potential for productive use.

Hi, Tito thank you for initiatives. But I am afraid, generally Wikimedia foundation not give you any grants for buying book. Could you please explain what will you do with those books/DVD?Jayantanth (talk) 20:09, 27 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Are you trying to call me? I shall talk with you tomorrow. Wikmedia India grants the small funds. Rs 3000 is not a big deal. We need just good project idea. you can submit your grants here. http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Main_Page . Till I am not clear about you project idea. Jayantanth (talk) 20:30, 27 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
Ok very good to see you BN.WS. Come on bengali wikisource. there are lots of works to do!!! But if you really try to add those bengali works, why you need to buy books, CD DVD?? Though all are in available in internet? What will you do after project completed?? Are you you return back all books and DVD to WMF?? Though personally I have all books of Swami Vivekananda. What do you want to do with those books??? Are you aware about the WS copyright policies? We can not upload latest edition. Jayantanth (talk) 20:48, 27 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

This request is below the funding threshold for the Project and Event Grants program. I have referred Mr. Dutta to Wikimedia India and to CIS-A2K, as both of those organizations have a community budget for this kind of support, and can more effectively support this request.
