Years ago, we used to worry that people wouldn't/didn't understand that Wikimedia is a non-profit, that it's created by volunteers, that it's international/multilingual. Many misconceptions still exist, but for anyone paying attention, we've demolished them.
Congrats to all for this successful fundraising!
I am still observing a widespread confusion between wikipedia and wikimedia. The confusion is not problematic /per se/, but I guess it can be with respect to what each chapter does for the projects. It is by far not easy to fix this problem, but I hope it's on the to-do list for 2012!
And perhaps for some year in the future explain also the sister projects. This year we've had a Wikipedia-only campaign, which is better than putting "Donate to Wikipedia" banners over sisterprojects, but still not ideal.
