DM me your best takes on whether I should
A) personally spend £1,000-£3,000 on effective giving advocacy initiatives in London out of my donation budget
B) ask an existing effective giving organisation to partially / fully subsidise me
C) because a volunteer is likely less competitive versus GWWC's giving multiplier, ignore all this and just donate directly, and do so acknowledging EA UK may shut down and global aid budget drops -17% due to USAID

The content and high-level format of it being "hosted" on the forum looks super promising!
It also made me wonder whether the scope the project should increase:
Does it make sense to translate everything in the 3rd Edition of the EA Handbook? What sort of considerations arise from here?
According to your post, this could be a "living document that grows and changes as the movement does", which means most, if not all material in there are by nature high fidelity. I believe with this new edition, a lot of the traditional fear of irreversible lock-in, translation difficulties, and out-of-dateness don't apply, and most countries can benefit a lot from an ongoing translation effort.
The way I'm intending to do this for EA Spain is to allow relatively new-but-engaged members to take up like a "miniproject" translating some of these texts to be shown on EA Spain's website, so it serves as both an engagement and educational tool at the same time.
