The October review meeting of the Knight Drupal Initiative saw three new proposals accepted by the community.

• Addison Berry
  Documentation sprints for better docs and to grow the team — $50,500 to organize and host documentation sprints for Drupal.org.
• Rob Loach
  Distributed Micro-Blogging — $40,240 to implement the OpenMicroBlogging specification as a Drupal module, in addition to the creation of an install profile that makes setting up a distributed micro-blog easy.
• Sam Boyer & Brian Cruikshank
  Decisionmaking API & Consensus Module — $87,500 to create and implement a flexible framework for group decision-making processes.

These proposals have been passed to Knight Foundation for final review and potential funding.

The Knight Drupal Initiative is an ongoing, open grant funding process for the Drupal open source project. We want to enable more people to enter the digital conversation by lowering the technical barriers to entry. We will provide powerful tools for digital publication, free and open to all. Our goal is to encourage people to improve their communities by supporting the free exchange of information and ideas.
