[Mesh] [FNF] Fwd: grant

[Pete Forsyth]

I tend to agree with Charles -- using an open process to apply for grants
has its benefits. (Not to say there aren't drawbacks as well -- it's a
judgment call.) But, for some interesting reading, I'd point out the
relevant policy of the OER Foundation:

   -
   http://wikieducator.org/OERF:FAQs/OER_Foundation/#Can_my_institution_join_others_in_bidding_for_international_projects_and_.2F_or_grant_funding.3F

and the Wikimedia grants program also requires open submissions and
reporting:
