Project plan

Scope:

Scope and activities

making beer. checking ID's. no kids allowed.

Tools, technologies, and techniques

lots of yeast and big giant barrels and some boxes to stand on.

Budget:

Total amount requested

$30,000

Budget breakdown

to make lots of beer and promote that beer. all funds go to wikimedia. the beer is then drunk by wikipedians and they stand on boxes and talk about their opinions and feelings and get it all out until they pass out

Intended impact:

Target audience

the vocal minority

Fit with strategy

i'm trying to get people to stop whining on mailing lists and talk pages and to let them "get it all out" after a few good beers so then they'll just move on and get back to writing an encyclopedia.

Sustainability

we'll come up with better beer recipes. if we get a compost that'll make it sustainable. we will also recycle everything and upcycle old stuff to make the soapboxes.

Measures of success

if the mailing list traffic goes down and wikipedians become nicer

Project plan

Scope:

Scope and activities

making beer, perfecting our recipes, promoting the space, checking id's. oh, i forgot we also need security guards to drag out the passed out and unruly wikipedians, so dealing with that.

Tools, technologies, and techniques

beermaking is an ancient artform. we'll use all organic hops and yeast and flavors. we'll probably experiment with some recipes from wikibooks.

Budget:

Total amount requested

$30,000

Budget breakdown

$10,000 for kegs $10,000 for food supplies $10,000 for disco balls

Intended impact:

Target audience

vocal minority

Fit with strategy

if we have less annoying people we'll have a healthier movement

Sustainability

people will be really hungover

Measures of success

when the mailing lists are deleted and more happy newbies are editing wikipedia. oh, and when we see more articles being edited with misspellings due to people being drunk.
