Jimbo wrote on Wikitech-l: I already have the data (minus the name, account number, and email columns) sorted and in OpenOffice Calc spreadsheet (one sheet per month with total amounts donated in each currency). It would be easy to have a daily breakdown for the fund drive period (although an hourly breakdown might be more informative for the two biggest days). However, some people have given either their name and/or user name in the one of the two comment fields ('Subject' and 'Note' columns). I think we should contact those people to ask permission for us to publish their comments. For example, the person who donated money for European domains gave his user name in the 'Note' field. Some thoughts: In the future we can deal with this by stating up front that whatever people write in comment fields will be made public by default but their name and email address will not be made public unless they put that information in one or the other comment fields. This will give donors the option of making their identity public knowledge just by including their name/user name in one or the other comment fields. But I think most of the time people want their donation comments published - It gives a nice personal touch to otherwise dry data. It would also make it easier for people to see that their donation has been recorded. Any thoughts? -- Daniel Mayer (aka mav)
