proposal relates to Wikipedian in Residence at a school - rejection rational is that training is only possible in person
this is a problem because WMF has a perception that online events are less valuable than in person events
Other critiques from Lane
WMF refuses to deny proposals; they withdraw them, which mixes the ones they reject with ones which never completed submission
WMF disinclined to group proposals by region, and consequently, we have no funding data for WMF money by region
5+ WMF-maintained grant pages, WMF not routinely watching any of them, no central place for wiki community to discuss grants
fix for this - a central grants page (WMF said their staff will not participate in such a thing, because they have separate staff for each of events, rapid grants, project grants, simple APG, and APG)
