Personally I think that 50 CHF is a big effort for students.

Wikimedia Ch has not financial problems and this incoming can be reduced without problem.

But in the other side I would like that to be member of Wikimedia Ch has not less value than an hotdog ;)

40% of reduction can be acceptable.

Hi,

Rupert, any idea about the values of the "smaller and smaller percentage" you mentioned in your mail below ? IMHO, it's quite challenging to have a clear opinion on this without accurate figures...

Rgds,

Do we know what's our membership demographics (e.g. majority of workers, students, pensioners)?

If we have more than 30% students or lower-income bracket, that could make sense.

    hi,

    as the membership fees are becoming a smaller and smaller percentage
    of our income, would it make sense to lower it to 20/10 chf per year ?
    (too) often i heard that chf 50 is a too high barrier to become
    member.

    my personal feeling is, that one who thinks wikimedia deserves more
    money could donate it. but it is inevitable that we become an even
    stronger organisation by having more members, and finding more people
    who have an interest in free knowledge projects.

    kind regards,

    rupert.
