Good-faith replacing of 'actionable' with 'usable'. The former is business-english. Dictionaries normally define it in the sense of a court-case (a legal 'action')

[[Grants:IdeaLab|IdeaLab]] is an incubator for people to share ideas to improve Wikimedia projects and to collaboratively develop them into plans and grant proposals. This page is for people to understand how IdeaLab works.
 
Line 29 ⟶ 26:
*'''Find people to help with your idea''': If your idea needs participants, you can browse people's profiles in IdeaLab and invite someone with relevant skills to join your project.
*'''Ask for funding to support your idea''': If funding from the Wikimedia Foundation would help turn your idea into action, use the "propose for a grant" button provided on your idea page to expand your idea into a grant proposal. WMF staff and funding committee members will review your proposal, ask any necessary questions on the discussion page, and let you know when a decision has been made.

== Things to know about Idea pages ==
 
Line 56 ⟶ 53:
Some ideas need funding in order to succeed, and some don't. Not every idea that is created in IdeaLab is asking for a [[Grants:Start|grant from the Wikimedia Foundation]]. Ideas that are only looking for feedback or participants are very welcome in IdeaLab!
 
If you do want to expand your idea into a grant proposal, there is a button at the bottom of each Idea page to help you do so. You will need to submit a budget and other information, and the proposal will be reviewed by a funding committee. See [[Grants:IEGStart]] for more details.
 
== Campaigns ==
Line 62 ⟶ 59:
Campaigns are themed collections of ideas, focused on a particular goal.
 
* '''[[Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire|Inspire Campaign]]''' - MarchThese 1stcampaigns to 30th, 2015. This campaign aimsaim to generate ideas focused specifically on addressing Wikimedia'sa gendervariety of challenges or general initiatives affecting one or more Wikimedia gapprojects.
