Trevor has whipped up

http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Special:ContributionStatistics

today - and we have the live contribution tracker, which hopefully
will have paging soon.

All the information comes directly from the fundraising database, so
this will include checks, stock donations, wire transfers, etc., as
they are recorded to the database. You may want to compare against the
Benefactors page to track major gifts.

We're very interested in metrics, as you can imagine, and we're
interested in sharing them publicly where doing so doesn't affect
donor privacy, so there'll be more to come.
