To put that in context: In 2008-09, prior to the launch of the fundraiser, we had received just under two million dollars in donations and commitments from a mix of foundations, individual donors and business development revenues. (That includes the 08-09 1m from Sloan, which will arrive this month.) Since its launch, the fundraiser has brought in a little over four million dollars. This means we currently have received in 08-09 a total of 6.1 million dollars, which will fully cover our projected 08-09 costs.
Isn't there still another $1.9m needed to meet this year's planned budget?
(This means: Keep going! Full steam ahead! All the way to January 10th!)

I thought it was supposed to end Jan 15th, to coincide with Wikipedia Day. Or is my memory wrong?
A thank you banner will be nice (I've already seen it, so I know ;-) ), and be a nice touch. (Also, is this the first time the fundraiser has reached its goal? AFAIR http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/AFAIR, it didn't last year (or the year before that?), so this is an improvement.)
