Hey,
Applicants will be rated on the following four
dimensions:
1. Activity within Wikimedia (on-wiki and off-wiki) - 50%
2. Activity outside of Wikimedia and other free knowledge/software
projects - 15%
3. Interest in Wikimania and the Wikimedia movement -
25%
4. Fluency of English language - 10%
I am little surprised here. Does it mean that non English speakers or
contributors stand a less chance to get a scholarship?
AFAIK until last Wikimania, fluency in English was never the criteria for
scholarships. Care to share why was this particular criteria added? :)
Thanks.
