This test would run for 1 to 2 hours, and then we'd evaluate results to see
if it's worth spending any more time on the concept. For now, we're simply
hiding the banner all together below 920px, as at smaller viewports it
begins to interfere with site navigation elements.
It is truly an amazing banner, as it might be the first donation banner in
the history of donation banners that actually improve the readability of
our content. Indeed, we have never been closer to line length
recommendations for optimal readability than with this banner.

TL;DR: A short test of a new banner concept will help us decide if it's
worth iteration and improvement.

I appreciate that you're trying to innovate, and this requires pushing
boundaries. I also appreciate that the WMF fundraising principle "minimal
disruption"[1] is subjective thing - and that the WMF has traditionally
taken this to mean "be disruptive for the shortest period" rather than
"be
less disruptive overall, even if it takes longer".
However, I do feel that *resizing all the article content to the left, and
occupying the entire right side third of the screen with a donation request
that follows me as I scroll *is significantly more than minimally
disruptive. Personally, I would request that this design approach not be
pursued on that basis.

p.s. Also, on my screen at least, the "x" dismiss button in the top-right
is so small that it hides under Chrome's translucent scrollbar
