Who does?
I'm also very interested in July 30, when average donations peaked; Ref.: http://i.imgur.com/3oXk7jq.png I can't figure anything actually useful out from http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2013#July_.26_August_Update

If October 4th and/or 22nd had large donations because of one-time events instead of regular donation appeal changes, why are they both bracketed by vastly abnormally successful previous and subsequent days?

Hi Megan,
Per the attached graph of the https://frdata.wikimedia.org/yeardata-day-vs-sum.csv data, your announced October 4th fundraising test on 100% of anonymous users was anticlimactic. But what the heck did you do on September 2nd and October 22nd, and would you please do that every day? Even if it falls off at the same rate as the July test, that still means you could produce an endowment sufficient to do away with fundraising at current spending levels in less than eight months.
Best regards, James Salsman
