Regarding the statistics page:
The "minimum" columns isn't that useful. I'd propose using its

I understand how the minimum donated some day can be $0.01 USD. But 0.00?
Looks like it's saying "The person who donated the less, didn't
donate"
I suppose that it was a donation on a different currency, valued less
than $0.01, but then it should probably be shown with more decimal digits.
How useful are donations smaller than a cent?
If I recall last year's discussions, most donations under a dollar actually
cost more to the WMF than they bring in (due to PayPal transaction fees).
Also, I saw somewhere in the plans a Javascript solution to set the minimum
donation so that every donation brings in money (~1$ mimimum donation).
As I understand, it donations less than $0.30 go entirely to PayPal.
There is no cost to the WMF if the donation is less than $0.30, but
there is also no gain.
