Request changes
[edit ]We understand that sometimes plans change. Please use this button to request approval for changes to your grant’s budget while your project is in progress. Any variation of 20% or more to any line item in your budget must be approved by staff here before you make the change (for projects with budgets of 15,000ドル or more, the accepted variance is 10%).
Budget change request
[edit ]Kindly allow a budget change of an additional 474ドル to approximately cover additional costs incurred during the project and to cover the Apple iOS developer fee, Google Play Store developer fee and the hosting fee (we need this for storing collected usage information). This is 18.96% variation from the original budget.
Rationale
[edit ]Development cost for contractors went up by a bit due to certain additional requirements we worked with like gathering usage data and few more additional work we needed done. The earlier estimate did not cover the Google Play Store fee (of 25ドル), the iOS developer fee (of 99ドル) and hosting requirement for collected usage data (estimated at approx. 200ドル per year). The decision to collect data was made mid-way into the project for metrics. Around 150ドル should cover the contractor costs for additional hours spent on programming.
- Hi Hari. I would like to hold off on approving this request until your Final Report is approved. It looks you've gotten a good start, but there are several sections that aren't yet started. As soon as your report is finished and ready for review, I'll make sure to provide feedback right away so we can move forward with your budget change request. In the meantime, could you please provide an exhaustive list of what the increased funds are covering? For example, you mention requirements for gathering usage data and "a few more additional work" needed. It would be helpful to have complete documentation for what your budget change request will cover. Thanks, --Marti (WMF) (talk) 21:47, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
