Project scope and activities

This section describes what will happen if this project is funded. Who will do what, and when?

Project structure

To clarify the interrelations between the activities of the year 2014 and to explain their specific connection to Wikimedia Foundation priorities, the activities of the project are divided into four fundamental categories:

1) Administration, 2) Community, 3) International relations and 4) Wikimedia content.

Administration

The aim of the activities enlisted in the “Administration” part of the agenda is to achieve organizational maturity and effectiveness, as well as financial sustainability of Wikimedia Eesti.

This includes activities related to: 1) quotidian healthy operating of the organization, as well as a forward-looking investment in training and, last but not least, 2) appreciation and motivation of our employees.

1. General administration and training

1.1. General administration

An essential part of the activities of administration section is made up of daily operating of the organization, including assurance of the possibilities for communication and necessary transportation, dealing with bank transactions, taking care of IT-solutions etc. These day-to-day actions are regular and inevitable during all the year. Investing in these actions guarantees a good and effective work environment for the organization.

Also professional bookkeeping is a cornerstone of a well-functioning and open organization. The bookkeeper will help to ensure the clarity and systematization of all financial data of the organization, as well as provide quarterly and yearly financial reports. Using the services of a professional bookkeeper keeps the board of the organization from spending too much time on formal questions and enables them to concentrate on essential issues.

Goals:

• To keep the organization well running,
• To ensure a complete and fully trackable registry of financial transactions of the organization.

Measures of success:

• Fully operating organization throughout the year,
• All the financial documents registered as prescribed by the law and project contracts,
• All quarterly reports and yearly financial report presented in time,
• The bookkeeping of the organization is in accordance with the good practice of bookkeeping and with the national and international law.

General administration activities

Month	Activity
March-December	Diverse activities of daily operating from communication and transportation, to banking transactions and translation of the necessary documents. Diverse activities of bookkeeping, including financial quarterly and yearly reporting. The financial report of the year 2013 to be presented for the general assembly in the beginning of March.

1.2. Training activities

Board training forms an important part of the organizational maturity and effectiveness and therefore Wikimedia Eesti has decided to engage also in this activity during the year 2014. It has been decided that one of our board members will participate in Board training workshop, organized by WM UK in the beginning of March 2014. It is a Wikimedia-related board training event, treating important questions also for Wikimedia Estonian chapter (governance, chapter roles), notably dedicating a full day to strategy, planning & evaluation. As Wikimedia Eesti is planning to apply for FDC funding and we are working intensively on our strategic plans, the knowledge acquired from the workshop may prove to be invaluable.

Participation in an intensive workshop in an unusual environment may also prove to have a motivational effect on participating board member, resulting in increased effectiveness of her/his work.

General training of board members, general members employees or other relevant persons is a completely relevant procedure in the process of increasing the effectiveness and sustainability of the organization, As the plans of training seminars and workshops for non-profit organizations are not published with a sufficient advance in Estonia, it is not possible for Wikimedia Eesti to schedule all the training events for the year 2014. As a consequent we foresee an approximate funding for possible training.

Goals:

• Acquire new knowledge about governance, chapter roles, strategic planning and evaluation,
• Better trained and therefore more competent project teams and employees.

Measures of success:

• Participation in the board training workshop in London, acquired knowledge mediated to other board and chapter members, employees and other related persons.
• Participation in relevant general training events and reports of acquired knowledge.
• Indirect affirmation of usefulness of training through increased competency - efficiency.

Training activities

Month	Activity
March-December	General training seminars and workshops not yet scheduled, but simply foreseen.
March	Participation in the London workshop, mediation of acquired knowledge to relevant persons.

2. Human resources

2.1. Board assistant

During its professionalization process Wikimedia Eesti hired a part-time (50%, i.e. 20 working hours a week) board assistant in October 2013 to increase the effectiveness of the organization board. The main task of the employee is to support a good functioning of the chapter board by assistance in administration, communication and organizational duties, i.e. dealing with quotidian matters which do not require direct involvement of board members. In the first 3 months the effects of the contribution of the board assistant have been thoroughly positive and this position has become an essential part of the chapter structure. The existence and availability of the board assistant increases the organizational abilities and capabilities of internal and external communication of the organization. As a consequent, Wikimedia Eesti has decided to maintain this position in the future.

Goals:

• To increase the effectiveness and capability of the chapter board.

Measures of success:

• No or few drawbacks on the organizational level.
• Well-working internal and external communication (including regular publication of the newsletter for members, the web pages of the organization being up-to-date, the response time to the inquiries addressed to the organization being reasonable, i.e. 5 working days).
• All the meetings of the board and of the members of the organization have been protocolled in accordance to the law and good practice.

Board assistant activities

Month	Activity
March-December	The activities of the board assistant are regular and spread out over the annual timespan. These activities include participation in weekly board meetings, general assembly meetings in March and in August, publication of weekly newsletter, updating web pages and managing the correspondence of the organization.

2.2. Project manager

The professionalization process of Wikimedia Eesti also resulted in employment of a part-time (75%, i.e. 30 working hours a week) project manager with the main task to support a good functioning of the chapter by searching and securing financial sources for its activities and operation. Project manager also coordinates the execution of projects and is responsible for correct reporting.

One of the main problems of the chapter has been its excessive dependence on one financial source, namely grant allocation of Wikimedia Foundation. On the one hand, the task of the project manager is to find other financial sources to diversify the funding of the organization and thus reduce its operational risks. On the other hand the employee should prepare the organization for a transmission to Wikimedia Foundation funds dissemination more suitable for funding annual operational activities of the chapter.

So far the work of the project manager has resulted in several applications to different foundations and sponsors. Although not all of the applications have been approved, they have passed the technical evaluation stage and thus confirm the quality of the work of the employee. Wikimedia Eesti finds that an employed project manager is essential part of the financial sustainability, as well as maturity and efectiveness of the organization and, thus, has decided to continue with the employment in the future.

Goals:

• Financial sustainability of the organization, including the diversification and augmentation of the financial sources of the organization,
• Good support for the board, other members of the organization and voluntaries in execution of planned projects.

Measures of success:

• The role of Wikimedia Foundation finances in the chapter reduced under 66%,
• Funding received from at least 3 other sources besides Wikimedia Foundation,
• A successful transmission to funding through Wikimedia Foundation Funds Dissemination Committee,
• Reports presented timely and correctly.

Community

The aim of the activities enlisted in the “Community” part of the agenda is increasing reach of and participation in our activities, as well as ensuring credibility of the projects by augmenting general public awareness of free culture and free knowledge. The community section includes activities related to: 1) organization itself, as well as wider Wikipedian community and, last but not least, 3) outreach to general Estonian community.

1. Organization and Wikipedians

1.1. General assemblies

As prescribed by the general legislature, the bylaws of the organization and general good practice, a non-profit organization is bound to organize at least one general assembly in a fiscal year. Wikimedia Eesti has an already evolved tradition to hold 2 general assemblies in one calendar year to increase the impact of the members will on the actions of the organization. The assemblies are scheduled with a half year difference between them and one is provisioned to take place in March and the other in August.

In the winter assembly (March) the fiscal and activity report of the year 2013 is to be reviewed and confirmed, the activity plans for 2014 will be discussed and possibly a strategy division may be formed to enhance the strategic work of the organization for better transmission to FDC funding.

In the summer assembly (August) the activities of 2014 and 2015 will be discussed and the election of board members will be carried through.

Goals:

• To ameliorate the awareness of the members about the activities and financial condition of the organization.

Measures of success:

• Fiscal report and activity report of 2013 reviewed and approved by the members,
• Formation of strategy division within the organization,

1.2. Wikipedia summer days

Wikimedia Eesti has supported throughout its existence a tradition of summer days for Wikipedians and in the year 2014 this event will take place for the sixth time. The main goal of the summer days is to communicate with wider community of Wikipedians for a better understanding of what they expect of the supporting organization and of course discussing general and specific Wikipedia matters. Summer days serve as a motivational event for wider community and as a reminder to the community that they have a supporting organization behind them.

Goals:

• Communication and ideas exchange with wider community of Wikipedians.

Measures of success:

• Event takes place with at least a dozen participants.

Summer days activities

Month	Activity
June-August	Preparations for the summer days and taking place of the actual event itself. Dates to be still decided.

1.3. Other meetings

It would be useful for Wikimedia Eesti to use its own human resources, i.e. its members in its activities in a more efficient way. A possible mean for achieving that is organization of other meetings besides general assembly to discuss their ideas, possible contributions and to improve internal communication in general.

It may be useful to be more engaged with the community of Wikipedians and therefore Wikimedia Eesti foresees a possibility to organize other meetings with them besides the summer days. The exact content and dates of the meetings is to be decided.

Goals:

• Improved internal communication and more engaged members,
• Increased communication with a wider Wikipedian community.

Measures of success:

• At least 20% of members not belonging to the organization board are engaged in organizational activities,
• Meetings with other Wikipedians taking place.

Other meetings activities

Month	Activity
March-December	Meetings are simply foreseen, but not planned and scheduled.

2. Outreach

2.1. Publication of Free Culture

One of the objectives of Wikimedia Eesti is to increase public awareness about free knowledge and free culture. Publication of Free Culture of Lawrence Lessig, i.e. one of the most important books about the culture that has created Wikimedia movement, is essential in the creation of the social environment necessary for its proliferation. Wikimedia Eesti has the intention to spread Free Culture amongst politicians, i.e. people who make the decisions about our legal environment, and to school and university libraries, i.e. to environments where future decision makers go through the important stage of their mental development. Wikimedia Eesti also hopes to attract public attention to the publication of this seminal text of free and open culture - for this reason also a public book presentation is planned.

An agreement with University of Tartu Press has been settled for the publication of the book. It will be printed of the funds of Wikimedia Eesti 2013 grant. 2014 grant activities include public presentation of the book and distribution to relevant circles.

Goals:

• The publication of the book and increased awareness of free culture in Estonia.

Measures of success:

• 500 books printed and distributed to decisive circles.
• Media coverage in nationwide channels.

Book publication related activities

2.2. Itinerant exhibitions

In its years of activity Wikimedia Eesti has gained a lot of experience in composition and management of itinerant exhibitions of the chosen photos from our photo competitions. Organizing and showcasing traveling exhibitions is a great way to outreach wider community and introduce them the results of Wikimedia activities, as well as pictures with encyclopedic value published under the free licence.

In the year 2014 Wikimedia Eesti plans to continue with the travelling exhibition of Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 photo competition winning photos, as well as to organize new exhibitions of the award-winning and nominated pictures from Wiki Loves Earth and Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 competitions.

2.3. Memorabilia

Producing promotional materials is a good way to elicit physical presence of the organization. Giving some Wikipedia related memorabilia to contest winners and participants of Wikimedia public events is a great way to link them and keep them connected with the cause.

Goals:

• Making organizational brand more visible and strengthen the connection with wider community.

Measures of success:

• Indirect criteria of increased participation in Wikimedia events and Wikipedia activities.

International relations

The aim of the activities enlisted in the “International relations” part of the agenda is to increase organizational maturity and effectiveness of Wikimedia Eesti by sharing our own experiences and learning from others. International relations includes: 1) participation in Wikimedia related conferences, Wikimania, Ukrainian expedition and 2) organization of the seminar for Fenno-Ugric Wikipedias.

1. Participation

1.1. Wikimedia Conference

An important part of the organizational development of a Wikimedia chapter is a discussion concerning their status and the future of Wikimedia movement with other Wikimedia chapters. Wikimedia conference is an event designed for this purpose and Wikimedia Eesti is certain that prior participation in this conference has given invaluable knowledge and experience to the organization. As there are many simultaneous discussions on the conference, Wikimedia Eesti plans to send 3 persons, i.e 2 board members and 1 employee to the conference, in order to get the most out of the event.

Goals:

• Increase of organizational maturity through shared experience and knowledge.

Measures of success:

1.2. WMCEE Conference

As an Eastern European chapter Wikimedia Eesti is clearly interested in the activities of Wikimedia Central and Eastern Europe collaboration and therefore also an active participation on WMCEE conference in 2014 is planned. The intention of Wikimedia Eesti is to have a collaborator in the organization team and two participants on the meeting itself. The main objective of this participation is to strengthen our connections in the region and to share our experience with other regional chapters and to receive interesting recommendations and observations from others. The participation in organizational team would be very important to Wikimedia Eesti, as the organization is planning to organize a WMCEE meeting in the near future.

Goals:

• International participation, sharing of experience and ideas, regional connection.

Measures of success:

• 1 participant in organisatory committee, 2 participants on WMCEE meeting,
• Acquired and documented knowledge for a possible organization of WMCEE meeting in Estonia,

In the year 2014 Wikimedia Eesti intends to send 3 persons (i.e. 2 board members and 1 employee) to Wikimania.

Goals:

• New connections, shared ideas, new knowledge and fresh motivation results in organizational maturation.

Measures of success:

• Participation of 3 persons from Wikimedia Eesti on Wikimania,
• Creation of blog post reflecting the acquired experience and knowledge for the whole community.

2. Organization

2.1. Fenno-Ugric seminar

Since the year 2012 Wikimedia Eesti has planned the organization of Fenno-Ugric seminar, i.e. a meeting bringing together major Fenno-Ugric Wikimedia chapters (Wikimedia Eesti, Wikimédia Magyarország, Wikimedia Suomi) with the representatives of small Fenno-Ugric Wikipedias (Võro, Livonian, Votyak, Vepsa, Sami, Khanty, Mansi, Ersa, Moksha, Komi, Udmurt, etc.) in order to discuss and resolve the problems of the latter (to support their development and expansion), as well as to ameliorate the representation of small Fenno-Ugric people, cultures and languages in other Wikipedias and Wikimedia projects. As there is a strong tradition of cultural cooperation of Fenno-Ugric people, it seems completely sensible to develop it also in Wikipedias.

For minor languages and cultures, like the eastern Fenno-Ugrians, Wikipedia is of a particular importance, as it is extremely difficult for them to distribute the knowledge about their culture via costly paper publications. Wikipedia has the chance to be the largest, most objective and thorough, independent resource documenting their language (Wikisource, Wiktionaries) and culture, and this resource can grow through their own active participation. Thus, the aim of Fenno-Ugric cooperation is to increase the reach of Wikipedia in areas capable of providing culturally unique content to the general collection of free knowledge, as well as support the participation itself. To support the participation of the representatives of smaller Fenno-Ugric Wikipedias, Wikimedia Eesti intends to distribute travel grants.

Goals:

• Supporting the activeness of small Fenno-Ugric Wikipedias.

Measures of success:

• An organized seminar with participants representing at least 10 Fenno-Ugric Wikipedias,
• Good media coverage of the event in national and international media,
• Notable activation of smaller Fenno-Ugric Wikipedias,
• Creation of a list of 100 hundred articles about smaller Fenno-Ugric cultures that should be in every Wikipedia,
• Creation or significant improvement of 25 of these articles in Estonian and in English Wikipedias.

Activities related to Fenno-Ugric conference

Month	Activity
March-June	Setting up the organisatory network, communication with possible partners, interaction with interested participants.
July-August	Organization and taking place of the 3-day seminar.

Wikimedia content

The main aim of the activities enlisted in the “Wikimedia content” part of the agenda is to increase participation in the activities of Wikimedia Eesti, as well as the quality of the content acquired. These goals are related to increasing reach and credibility of the Wikimedia Eesti projects. Wikimedia content related activities include: 1) large comprehensive projects, 2) lesser projects related to textual content or 3) media content of Wikipedia and finally 4) a cluster of other, even lesser projects.

1. Large projects

1.1. Education program

In co-operation with the Ministry of Education and Science, the education program has become the most important project of Wikimedia Eesti with an extensive funding from the national budget of the Republic of Estonia for a pilot project for introducing Wikipedia in secondary schools. The aim of the project is to engage students who write smaller research papers in school to transmit the relevant information from their papers to Wikipedia environment. The aimed result is to have at least 50 new good quality articles or edits in Wikipedia by the summer of 2014.

This program serves several strategic goals of Wikimedia movement, enabling public outreach, actual participation, elaboration of quality criteria (to assess the work of the students), increased credibility from the support on the level of Estonian Government. Also carrying through this vast project increases the organizational maturity of Wikimedia Eesti, as well as national funding supports financial sustainability of the organization.

As an addition, and to ensure high quality results in Wikipedia, a summer school is organized for the best students, to teach them basic editing skills necessary for Wikipedia editing. To guarantee the sustainability of the project and high level of participation, a student contest with remarkable awards for both students and their supervisors is being planned. Hopefully this will attract public attention and guarantee good media coverage for the event, as well as give teachers a motivational boost for participating this year and in years to come - Wikimedia Eesti plans to carry out similar projects also in the following years.

This project has already started in December 2013 and the funds of Wikimedia Foundation will be used in the last stage of the project to award the best students and teachers who participated in the project.

Goals:

• Contribution of quality material to Wikipedia by new contributors and installation of Wikipedia as a study-technological tool in Estonian school system.

Measures of success:

• At least 100 persons (teachers and students) participating in the pilot project,
• At least 50 quality articles or edits added to Wikipedia,
• Nationwide media coverage of the project,
• Follow-up project during the next school year.

1.2. Civic education project

For an effective outreach of Wikimedia Eesti and participation in Wikipedia, the members of the society need to be informed of the principles, values and advantages of free culture and knowledge. To achieve this, Wikimedia Eesti has decided to conduct a civic education program.The aim of the project is an achievement of broadened and deepened awareness of the citizens of the nature of free culture and education, as well as realization of the possibilities to employ Wikipedia as a means for civic education.

In the year 2014 Wikimedia Eesti plans to contact all relevant organizations to make plans for a wide-scale project to be initiated in 2015. Although the program is oriented towards the future an important contribution to Wikipedia is already planned for the year 2014 as well. To support this contribution, the present state of civic education related articles is mapped and lists of needed additions will be created. There will be at least one article competition and a civic education seminar, introducing the possibilities of the use of Wikipedia in civic education.

Wikimedia Eesti hopes to receive funding from the Open Estonia Foundation for this project.

Goals:

• Wider acknowledgment of Wikipedia as a feasible civic education tool and increased awareness of free culture and knowledge in the society.

Measures of success:

• Seminar concerning possible employment of Wikipedia in civic education being held,
• Nationwide media coverage of the project,
• At least 40 quality articles or important additions related to the topics of civic education made on Estonian Wikipedia.

As Wikimedia Eesti aims for a wider public outreach, it has been decided to initiate a new long-term project cultural heritage program, with the aim to have a good representation of Estonian culture on Wikipedia for the 100th symbolic anniversary of the Estonian Republic in year 2018.

The year 2014 is mainly planned for preparations for this extensive project and for creation of organizational and institutional web to support it. As it is intended to extensively collaborate with archives, libraries and museums, this program can be classified as Wikimedia Eesti leading projects in the GLAM region for the upcoming years.

As to Wikipedia content-related activities, it is planned to organized workshops for the workers of partner organizations, hoping that they will be able to transfer the contents of archives to Wikipedia in correct manner themselves.

Goals:

• Increase of nationally and internationally valuable cultural content in Wikipedia, by the means of institutional collaboration.

Measures of success:

• Collaboration with at least 3 nationally important GLAM institutions initiated,
• At least 100 media files transferred to Wikimedia Commons by the end of the year.

1.4. Viki48

As Wikimedia Eesti aims for wider public outreach and even more for participation, it has been decided that a high profile participation competition, namely Viki48 will be organized. The form of the competition is taken from start-up meetings, where in the timescale of 48 hours a working start-up is construed. Viki48 aims for the creation of quality Wikipedia content in the insufficiently laboured fields of the Estonian Wikipedia.

The planned competition has two rounds. The first is open to all general public, as long as they are able to form 4-8 member teams, to register them and to contribute to Wikipedia. After the first public round the jury selects 10 most successful teams to participate in the 48 hour Wikipedia content creation marathon taking hopefully place in one of the most eminent libraries in Estonia. For the event special lists of insufficiently covered topics will be created. Finally the jury evaluates both quantity and quality of the articles created and nominates the teams to be awarded.

For a successful and sustainable occurrence of this event, the awards have to be appetizing. Wikimedia Eesti is currently searching for possible donors and sponsors. If it will not be possible to find sufficient sponsorship, the event will be cancelled. This competition could be a very successful way to achieve huge outreach and participation, as well as to receive nationwide media coverage. Hopefully the participants will be infected with Wikimania and continue Wikipedia collaboration after the competition as well.

Goals:

• Significant increase in participation and as a consequent the development of Wikipedia content.

Measures of success:

• At least 200 quality articles or significant additions created in Estonian Wikipedia,
• At least 100 participants (minimum of 13 teams) in the competition,
• Nationwide media coverage.

2.3. Armenian collaboration

Wikimedia Eesti has engaged with Armenian collaboration, i.e. cooperation with another small chapter of Wikimedia to create mutual content on Wikipedia. In December 2013 an article competition was organized. It is hoped for that this event is only the beginning of a longer fruitful cooperation, it was decided that for motivational purposes the winners of the competition will be awarded with the trip to respective country (i.e. sending Estonian to Armenia and receiving Armenian in Estonia). These trips are planned so, that the winners of the competition will also participate in the most important Wikipedia-related event in the other country (summer days in Estonia and conference in Armenia). Hopefully this will be helpful to establish strong connections between the chapters and wikipedians, which will provide the collaboration with a promising future.

Goals:

Impact

In the sections below, please describe how the project is related to the Wikimedia mission and Wikimedia's strategic priorities.

Fit to strategy

How will this project support the key organizational objectives of

increasing reach (more people will access or contribute to Wikipedia or our other projects)

Outreach forms an essential part of Wikimedia Eesti 2014 activities and is the aim of Wikimedia Eesti educational programs, as well as of the initiation of new GLAM projects (e.g. cultural heritage program). Hopefully a new level of civic education concerning free culture and free knowledge will be achieved, as well as students and teachers will be introduced into the activities and values related to the Wikimedia movement. New GLAM projects are conducted in strong co-operation with eminent GLAM institutions and good media coverage and outreach is foreseen.

participation (more people actually contributing)

Increasing participation will be supported by community activities, initiation of wide-scope projects and organization of new and traditional content-related competitions. The main object of community activities is editor retention through motivation. Although there is a settled community participating in traditional contests of Wikimedia Esti, such public events aspire also new contributors. Participation related activities make up also an important part of large projects of Wikimedia Eesti, with the best example of the education program.

quality (more content, more useful content, or higher-quality content)

The question of quality improvement is one of the central issues of the activities related to Wikimedia content in year 2014. For this reason new quality criteria for Wikipedia articles will be worked out in the framework of education program and Civic education project. Image quality criteria will be discussed during the activities related to Wiki Loves Earth and Wiki Loves Monuments competition.

credibility (more trust in our projects)

Credibility of Wikimedia movement in Estonia will be improved by high profile engagement of the Ministry of Education and Science in our projects, as well as by general civic education concerning free culture and knowledge. Also the work with the quality criteria and content of Wikimedia projects is helpful towards the raise of credibility of Wikimedia movement.

organizational maturity and effectiveness (how it will move you or the Wikimedia community forward)

Organizational maturity and effectiveness will be achieved through the activities of general administration, professional bookkeeping, board assistant and project manager. The activities include assistance of the chapter board in order to achieve effectiveness of the organization. Also a wider engagement with the community improves the effectiveness of the organization. The process of maturation of the organization will be supported by board training and wider engagement in international relations. Hopefully the acquired knowledge will also contribute to the increase of the effectiveness of the organization. Carrying through traditional competitions and new wide-scope long-term progress is also important in the progress towards organizational maturity.

financial sustainability (how it will help you achieve more in the long run)

Financial sustainability will be addressed by the activities of the general administration, professional bookkeeping and project manager. In general the organization will be kept in fully operational and financially healthy condition. New financial sources and partners will be searched for. A transmission to the more suitable funding through the funds dissemination is hoped for.

(This statement should address at least one of the strategic priorities listed here specifically. See WMF Grants Program criteria for decisionmaking.)

Benefits

If the project will benefit a specific online community, please tell us.

• Estonian Wikipedia with articles and media content.
• English, Russian and German Wikipedias with article content
• Wikimedia Commons with media content.
• Estonian Wikisource with textual content.

Please provide a brief statement about how the project is related to other work in the Wikimedia movement. For example, does the project fit into a work area such as GLAM, education, organizational development, editor retention, or outreach?

This project is thoroughly related to other work in the Wikimedia movement: 1) GLAM is the essential part of our wide-scope long-term projects, 2) education is the center of the extensive pilot project initiated in the co-operation with Estonian Ministry of Education and Science, 3) organizational development is attended through administrative, community and international relations activities, 4) editor retention is a part of our community work and motivational competitions, 5) outreach is an important reason for initiation of wide-scope projects, as well as engagement in general civic education.

If successful, will the project have the potential to be replicated successfully by other individuals, groups, or organizations? Please explain how in 1–2 sentences.

Yes, this project has the potential to be replicated by other organizations.

Wikimedia Eesti is in the process of transforming from grant-based funding to the funding through funds dissemination - other chapters who will be engaged in this process can learn from our experience,

The experience gained from the initiation of new wide-scope projects, especially cultural heritage program can be used as the examples of GLAM-networking.

Please list other benefits to the movement here.

Increase of the credibility of Wikimedia movement in Estonia, achieved by the engagement on the level of Estonian Government (resp. Minister of Education), as well as through the civic education on the topic of free culture and knowledge.

Appendix

The representatives of Wikimedia Foundation have (on the discussion page) drawn the attention of Wikimedia Eesti to a conflict of interest concerning Tartupe(e)dia project of Wikimedia Eesti, which was part of the original grant request. It was also noted that QR-projects have only a secondary influence to the Wikimedia movement and are, generally, not approved for the funding by Wikimedia Foundation.

Wikimedia Eesti understands the concerns of Wikimedia Foundation and is dealing with the conflict of interest with careful attendance and seriousness! The lack of coherence between QR-projects and Wikimedia Foundation goals is also acknowledged.

Therefore, Wikimedia Eesti has decided that:

1. the concerned board member will resign to resolve the conflict of interest,
2. the plan to fund the QR-project from the funds of Wikimedia Foundation will be withdrawn and Wikimedia Eesti will be engaged in attempts to find the necessary funding from other sources (City of Tartu, local enterprises).

Nevertheless, as the Tartupe(e)dia project has been one of the core projects of Wikimedia Eesti with good media coverage so far, it is impossible to interrupt it abruptly without significant damage to the credibility of Wikimedia Eesti, the request for funding directly content and quality related activities (competitions and workshops) will be made in the present grant proposal, as to ensure a smooth transition to external funding.
