Pete - Had Charles proposed collaborating with us in applying for the
grant, then this would fit into the model you're describing. However,
having both of our orgs apply for the same single grant is effectively
directly competing with us for the same pot, since we're both working on
similar projects. And, since we're a newer project and have yet to deploy
any nodes, FNF is considerably more likely to win it.
I of course support open submissions and reporting, hence my creation of this
wiki page <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Funding> on the sudoroom wiki.

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:

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

Why should they be kept off list? It was a good
grant and FNF is just as
capable and valid to apply for it.
Plus if it was on boing boing it's public.
Very curious behavior.

It would seem we should maybe keep funding
opportunities off-list
(private
email or at meetings), but thanks for the heads up, Ryan!
