Wikimedia are holding a cross-project fundraising drive from September 20 to October 3. We hope to raise $50,000 during this two week period.
Donations can be made via the new fundraising pages at http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Fundraising which are being finalized this weekend.
This was discussed at a meeting yesterday. A summary is at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_meeting%2C_September_2004 and the full log is at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_meeting%2C_September_2004/Log
The fundraising drive will be publicized via a site notice, which will read:
"Wikimedia Fundraising Drive 2004. Help us raise $50,000. See our fundraising page for details."
