The translation teams always inspire me - you do some of the hardest
work, essential to keeping us all together, and under sometimes crazy
deadlines. Thanks for making communication so smooth all year, not
just during the fundraiser.
More than 50% of our donations come from outside the
US now,
A nice milestone! [And what % come from non-English-language projects?]

I'd like to add my thanks to Philippe's :-)
It was such a great fundraiser! Wikimedia raised more money than ever
before, and I think the messaging was our best-ever, mainly because so
many people were involved in helping develop it, and because we were
able to continually test & optimize throughout the campaign.
Thank you guys, for helping make it so successful :-)
