Amir, I'd refer to my previous email relating to the three high GDP Asian countries. Definitely has potential but no silver bullet. Seddon On Mon, Oct 1, 2018 at 9:15 PM Amir Sarabadani wrote: > It might sound naive but Singapore also has lots of potential. Please > correct me if I'm wrong. >

Hi Thea, hi Seddon, thanks for the report! Sometimes, I'd love to see more details on specific details. Nevertheless, thanks for publishing it. More out of curiosity: Can you give more details on the origin of donations within Africa? Are they all from South Africa? Cheers Cornelius On Sun, 30

It might sound naive but Singapore also has lots of potential. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Best On Mon, Oct 1, 2018 at 10:12 PM Andrew Lih wrote: > On Mon, Oct 1, 2018 at 12:24 PM Ilario Valdelli > wrote: > > > Yes but India has probably 2 times the population of the whole Europe... > > an

Re: [Wikimedia-l] FY1718 Fundraising Report now published

India is definitely a place Fundraising see's as having a lot of potential in the future, but similarly expectations should be managed. It may have a population twice the size, but its readership is only a fraction of Europe's. India is also dominated by mobile that has been substantially more di

Yes but India has probably 2 times the population of the whole Europe... and cannot be defined like a "poor" country. I Think that the same is valid also for East Asia. No it's not simple to compare but the amount donated in Asia is really small. Kind regards On Mon, 1 Oct 2018, 15:21 Joseph Se

Re: [Wikimedia-l] FY1718 Fundraising Report now published

I suppose Asia can do a lot better than 3 million, but I don't augur much success with increasing those campaigns for Africa and South America, at least using the current model. Looking by the sample I know in Brazil (last year fundraising campaign, in August I believe) the Brazilian Portuguese Wi
