Hoi, Six million dollar is a lot of money. However given what we do and what we stand for, it is not too much to ask for. This fundraiser proves that a well managed fundraiser makes a big difference. So my compliments for the effort and the people involved in making it happen for us :)
I am sure that we have learned valuable lessons this time. Indeed getting the message out by people that are recognised as having something valid to say is a great help. We do not have many such people because our community is not one of individual recognition. That only makes it a much more interesting challenge :)
Any way.. Gelukkig Nieuwjaar :) Thanks, GerardM

In some time zones, it was done before 2009. And this is the most successful fundraising.
I think that we have two conclusions from this fundraising:
- Jimmy should make appeal earlier as WMF will need more money the
next year + people will have less money because of the whole year of recession.
- It would be good to find local prominent people who would write
their own appeals for particular audiences. For example, prominent persons from France and Germany...
