Talk:Fundraising committee/Sitenoticedraft

This page is for discussing the draft sitenotice for the December, 2006, fundraiser.

Please do not edit the sitenotice before obtaining positive confirmation of the proposed change from Wikimedia Foundation office staff first.

Matching Contributions

• Sponsor has generously agreed to match, dollar for dollar, the first $M of contributions we receive during this fundraiser. Many questions about this matching gift are answered here. (I was thinking this Fundraising/Matching page could start by containing Andrew Lih's excellent suggestions.)
• Is navimgx the right way to link to the sponsor? This is probably most unobtrusive, but it's also non-transparent.

Progress Bar

• How does this work? (I am confused about the wikimarkup '<fundraising/>' and where the progress bar image actually lives.)
• Will this be updated live, automatically?

Other Ideas

• Include a (changing) testimonial from a recent donor?
• Color/pictures/logos?

Indeed. Compare to the size and appearance during the last fund drive. Jeremy Tobacman 16:24, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
