Hi everyone,
As you may have noticed we're now running small scale tests in preparation for this year's Fundraiser. The plan is to have regular slots on Thursdays and Fridays at 1730-1830 UTC, barring schedule clashes or technical problems. For now at least these will be limited to the English Wikipedia, and appear for anonymous users only. Users in certain chapter countries may not see these banners, or may see different ones as local chapters carry out their own tests.
This week we're testing two personal appeals from Wikipedia programmer and editor Ryan Kaldari.
You can see the results from previous tests and other news at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2011/Updates Feedback is very welcome, and there will also be staff members in the IRC channel #wikimedia-fundraising when banners are running.
