Project Goal edit

Overall the goals of this grant are to advance the WikiJournal User Group and its flagship WikiJoural of Medicine, and to lay groundwork for potential formation of WikiJournals as a thematic organization within the WMF. This will further the project's aims of attracting quality assured content that can be used across Wikimedia projects.

  1. Register WikiJournal as a trademark. It will be registered in Sweden, and then be declared internationally by the Madrid Trademark System. This will help protect the name of the organization from discredit by others who may use the same name otherwise.
  2. Open a bank account for WikiJournal of Medicine, to be accessible for only trusted members of the organization. This will allow future grant applications to be directed directly to the organization instead of to a private account.
