To see in more detail how the recent fund drive went,
I started looking at
the raw data and put some figures together here:

Thanks for making these stats. It's interesting to have this sort of overview.
How can we figure out what made this fundraiser
take off?
I'm not sure there's any one answer. Jimmy's appeal
<http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Personal_Appeal> was put out on
the 31st which certainly had an effect, but the timing (Christmas
ending) and the press around this time could also have played a part
in the take off in the final week.
