- Is this project supported by other community members? Did you discuss it with them before applying?
- Yes, the project is supported by the community members. Last year we organized this project, it was very successful and the community supported the idea that it should happen again this year. We physically discussed this project at the end of each Women in Wiki in-person project. We also communicated with the rest of the community members in our communication channels then we applied.
