[Imc-drupal-dev] Grant Proposal: 2ND DRAFT

[Sofia JarrinT]

Hi!

Thanks in advance to everyone who sent suggestions for the Knight Foundation Grant proposal for an Indymedia Drupal prototype. You can view it here:

http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Devel/ImcDrupalDev

"NEWSCHALLENGEPROPOSAL.v2.doc:"

I have tried my best to incorporate ideas, but I would love for people to review it carefully and make sure it makes sense (particularly the last section on expertise).

DEADLINE:
Please review changes for Wednesday, October 29.

MONEY:
I am asking for $200,000. Roughly calculating 6-10 developers working on it, plus $50,000 for training and Tech support for IMCs that don't have Drupal developers. Is that too much?! Too little?

TIMELINE:
Amount to finalize project: 1 year (considering our decentralization, I think that's a good way to go). Comments?

Here are the IMCs that are in so far:

    * Boston Imc
    * Belgium Imc 
    * Indybay Imc 
    * UK Imc
    * St. Louis Imc
    * Columbus Imc
    * Scotland Imc
    * Arizona Imc
    * Bolivia Imc
    * Bolivia Imc
    * Germany Imc
    * Venezuela Imc

IMC-TECH?
Should we forward this email to the Imc-Tech list to see if there's anyone else who wants to join? 

best,
Sofia J.
