This goes especially for you translators. :-)

If it turns out the translation does not fix the context, there are any errors, or any missing strings... feel free to drop me an e-mail or leave a message for one of us at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_site_feedback

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Erik Moeller erik@wikimedia.org Date: Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 9:33 PM Subject: [Foundation-l] Please help debug new fundraising pages To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org

If all goes well, we will begin publicizing our annual campaign for 2008-2009 tomorrow, using sitenotices, a press release, etc. (Yes, we're aware of that little election happening at the same time - it's not entirely unwelcome.) We've just taken the new donation front-end live here:

http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate

(and related links.)

You can also test our initial batch of site-notices here:

http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

(If you're logged in, you may have to reset your interface language. The notice should reflect the existing translations.) Click "random page" a few times to see the different notices. If you give, the thermometer should update within 10 minutes or so.

Please report any issues on-list or off-list to <rmontoya at wikimedia dot org>. When reporting issues, please make sure you tell us your browser configuration and operating system.

Known issues to be addressed over the coming days and weeks, not in this order:

1. Translation of non-Core pages to more languages. 2. Longer, searchable Live Comments features 3. Set minimum donation script for $1 (or equivalent) 4. Next set of 3 or 4 site notices 5. Enable wiki-specific site notices for other wiki projects. i.e. The site notice for Wikibooks would read "Wikibooks is a non-profit project: Donate today." 6. Re-launch the donations page with the Chapter related giving options (http://dev.donate.wikimedia.org/index.php/Donate/Now2/en). 7. Rupees as a currency. 8. Re-work the Stories page for translating. 9. Take live the new "Thank you" page shown after donations ( http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate/Thank_You )

Thanks to the fundraising & tech teams for all their work on this so far. :-) -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation
