Wikimedia are holding a cross-project fundraising drive from September
20 to October 3. We hope to raise $50,000 during this two week period.
Donations can be made via the new fundraising pages at
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Fundraising which are being
finalized this weekend.
This was discussed at a meeting yesterday. A summary is at

and the full log is at

The fundraising drive will be publicized via a site notice, which will read:
"Wikimedia Fundraising Drive 2004. Help us raise $50,000. See our
fundraising page for details."
