Wikimedians--
We have begun exploring ideas for enhancing the visibility of the donate
button not only within the Wikimedia main skin but also on every page of
every Wikimedia project. We hope that enhancement will enable us to
better informing our public that we are dependent on their donations as
we promote the free and open knowledge movement.
We expect that a small change to the Wikimedia main skin will result in
big returns in donations--donations we use to keep the Wikimedia
movement alive and growing. I expect that in return for a bit of
enhanced visibility, we will see a daily increase of up to 20% in
donations.
Ever look at the classic skin? Much like what we used before monobook.
Anyway the donate link is in much the same place. Little evidence of
effectiveness.
