:Though I agree that funding the creation of an actual extension would be out-of-scope for an IEG grant, creating a proper business case for such an extension could be within scope. I think the main reason there is so much work done on Toolserver is because developers would rather fulfill a set of personal needs rather than defend their ideas to the engineering team. If this business case could be hashed out in the way Quim has suggested, then the IEG proposal could focus on costs related to supporting future developers (and users) of the Mediawiki extension for Community Metrics. I am thinking of costs of surveys, meetups, training, etc. [[User:Jane023|Jane023]] ([[User talk:Jane023|talk]]) 10:29, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

::Good point, [[User:Jane023|Jane023]], there is potential to scope this project differently if that was of interested to the project team. As the proposers haven't returned to discuss or update though, we'll have to mark this ineligible for the current round, but I've asked [[User:Quim|Quim]] to contact them as well to encourage them to come back here to discuss or make updates for a future round if they remain interested.
