Are you sure price cutting is the answer? As I understood it WMUK was already a bit peeved if people paid the lower rate via PayPal because of PayPal taking a cut, so presumably the £5 rate will cause any Paypal sign-ups to be virtually counter-productive, yet it would be my argument that Paypal's probably the single biggest area ripe for growth in garnering funds. I probably wouldn't have got my arse in gear to sign up if there had been no Paypal or at least debit card option. So I'll ask the question; if you decide to make the rate £5 are you going to remove the Paypal payment option? _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
