Deploy the Wikispeech extension in production. Primary target wikis are ARWP, ENWP and SVWP, since these languages are initially supported.

WMSE has an active grant to develop Wikispeech lasting until 2021-03-31, after this we have a slightly smaller grant allowing us to go on supporting it until 2022-09-30. If it gets deployed and is well received we also have a vested interest in including support of Wikispeech in our APG budget.

Wikimedia Sverige has identified a number of further external funding opportunities to continue developing Wikispeech after 2022. We will work on developing these grant applications and other funding opportunities during the coming year. We are very optimistic about the available opportunities identified.
