Hi all, We wanted to let you know the fundraising team is starting up testing in February. We're starting at low levels, so most people will not even notice banners to start with. 5% of anonymous users will see a banner just one time. We are not showing any banners to logged in users.
There was an announcement in November about us splitting up the fundraiser this year. Just a very quick recap: We ran the end-of-year campaign in November and December in the top 5 English-speaking countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand). The campaign was successful and we were able to take the banners down a few weeks ahead of schedule: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Press_releases/Wikimedia_Foundation_raises_25_million_in_2012_fundraiser We are now working on starting up testing in countries that were not included in the end-of-year campaign. We'll be working on translations and optimizing our donation pages in many countries over the coming months. We will post a report of the year-end campaign with much more detailed information and will send a note to this mailing list when it's available. We always need help making improvements in different countries and languages. If you have any suggestions, please do leave us a note on the fundraising meta discussion page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fundraising_2013 Thanks!
