About the amounts: should they be just converted to the local currency (where available: I believe PayPal accepts 18 different currencies all in all) or be adjusted to the local conditions.<div><br></div><div>For example, Couchsurfing uses a scale based on purchasing power parity and HDI on their donation pages, where the original 25$ donation adjusted to French conditions would be the equivalent of 21$, to Hungarian conditions ~16$.

<div><br></div><div>An another obvious consideration is that the given numbers should sound good, so with the above example's France: 20$ , Hungary: 15$, USA: 25$.</div><div><br></div><div>[1] - <a href="http://www.couchsurfing.com/verification.html?sliding_scale=1">http://www.couchsurfing.com/verification.html?sliding_scale=1</a></div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I don't know how accurately would the Couchsurfing scale represent the differences in default donations to WMF by country/currency; it might be useful to know what are the commons amounts in a given group of donors (e.g. those who give little, medium, large amount of money).</div>
