What should the notice say?
Something like this, only in a variety of languages.

Now up on a number of Wikimedia sites; with a few large ones left to be targeted (trying not to unilaterally change the sitenotice without the help of a local admin on the larger projects).
Some wikipedias are trying a sitenotice implementation that only shows up for *logged-in* users; just as others have suggested in the past having fundraiser messages primarily targeted at non-logged-in users. all something to consider in working out what general policies should be for various flavours of site notice.
