We discussed the grant application at August 22, 2024, Advisory Committee only. During the call, we discussed the opportunity to use the funding to create an OpenRefine Wikimedian liaison role, do active outreach, attend conferences to present OpenRefine, answer Wikimedia-related questions, and escalate bug reports and issues. This proposition also builds on the discussion regarding Support / Helpdesk Role during the barcamp and Supporting wiki* communities.
In a separate conversation, @Andre_Costa suggested that we may extend the scope to related questions and confirmed that this call will not cover the development or maintenance of the Wikimedia Commons extension.
