Synopsis
The Wikimedia runs Individual Engagement Grants,

conference scholarships, and other similar

programs. Like "Individual Engagement Grants"

program which helps Wikimedians complete projects

that benefit the Wikimedia movement. IEG fund

individual or small teams to organize, build,

create, research or facilitate something that

enhances the work of Wikimedia's volunteers. The

individual or small teams add their proposals

create or facilitate something for the enhancement

of Wikimedia and the proposals goes to the

grantmakers who review all the applications and

validate the requirements and eligibility

conditions. Based on the applications the grant the

permission.

The goal is to either create or adapt a free and

open source review system for these funding

requests, applicable to the similar programs. A

criteria to be specify by the administrator through

which the grants will be judged. A set of reviewers

will comment and provide scores to each

application. Average the score of the reviewers and

the system will apply the relative importance

values specified by the administrator to produce a

report showing how each proposal has been assessed.

It make the work of grantmakers easy in the

selection process for funding requests. They can

permit the request based on project's importance

and scores.
