After all, a person probably isn't going to donate ten times just because ten different people appealed for funds.

I believe that the plan is to bring in the "thermometer" showing how close we are to our target in the later stages of the fundraiser. As you say, hopefully that will boost donations again.
At the moment we seem to be doing fine. The personal appeal has proved itself extremely powerful, I think the only reason the Jimbo appeal came so late last year was that no one realised just how effective it could be. It's only natural that response will decrease over time, so that's why there are a variety of messages being trialled to keep up interest.

One of the problems is probably the rhythm of the fundraiser. Jimbo
stepped in
as he would normally do several weeks later. One would till then see the
bar
running up to the number WMF was trying to reach - and may be decide to
actually
make WMF reach its target.
The present campaign is extremely personalised and it has cancelled the
"what we
need / and what we have" question. The reactions on the present campaign
are as
personal reaching from satire to the odd individual (as now seen) trying
to
bring his own person into the game.
