 * Jessie says this is not needed as English language competency is required for Wikimania attendance.
 * It is, indeed. But is it really necessary to write the entire application in English? Oral English language competency is required for Wikimania attendance. DerHexer (talk) 17:09, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Should at least be in a language the scholarship committee understands, preferably. For next year, we can probably work more on the translation features and allow applications in more languages (that the committee can handle) :) Aude (talk) 17:36, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Agreed. DerHexer (talk) 17:39, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
