Re: [Foundation-l] Fundraiser statistics
Yes. IMO - we need change in few days and comeback before Christmas with face on the banner of course (Jimbo, Sue ;). Maybe with gift box icons or something... przykuta Time to use community input?

Re: [Foundation-l] Fundraiser statistics
I think it's important to point out that we are, in fact, using community input :) For instance, the editor appeals that are being tested were suggested by community members and written by community members pb On Dec 1, 2010, at 4:39 AM, KIZU Naoko wrote: Time to use community input?

It's certainly true that a more effective banner will draw in some new donors, but with a more effective banner system the donation rate we are seeing makes sense.

We certainly do need a holiday push, though - there are plenty of great suggestions that would really bring things in. How about trying something different?

Re: [Foundation-l] Fundraiser statistics
Hey gang, We're testing editor appeals right now. We've got the click throughs where we need them, it's just a matter of polishing the letter. :) Once we've got that, we're in good shape there, and can move on to our next phase, which is a campaign update, probably from Sue, with the introduction of a graphical thermometer treatment (though this is all fairly preliminary) This is exactly as we expected... we knew there would be several phases to this campaign, and we're hitting them just almost exactly when we thought we would. :) pb ___ Philippe Beaudette Head of Reader Relations Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. pbeaude...@wikimedia.org Imagine a world in which every human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
