Congrats :-) Interesting format choice too. I see that "Tripling Elephants" has donated somewhere between $5,000 and $25,00 dollars! Is this for real, or has Tillman been adding Easter Eggs to the report? :-) See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikiality_and_Other_Tripling_Elephants
(I also see that "Wikimedia Foundation Staff" get mentioned in the $1,000 to $5,000 category - that's dedication to the cause!) -Liam wittylama.com Peace, love & metadata On 19 December 2012 21:05, Jay Walsh <[email protected]> wrote: > Today we’re excited to launch the Wikimedia Foundation’s latest Annual > Report > (see today's blog post as well: > > https://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/12/19/wikimedia-foundations-2011-12-annual-report/ > ) > (on wiki here: > https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation/Annual_Report/2011-12 > ) > > This year marks the fifth edition of our Annual Report, which focuses > on the achievements and core work of the preceding fiscal year > (2011-12), and gives us a chance to recognize the amazing > contributions of our volunteers and the generous support of our > donors.
