Hello Wiki World,
On *2011-10-18* (today)*@ 20:00 - 21:30 UTC*, we are running a global campaign for an hour and a half to test our ability to and strategy for handling donations coming from *every country*! The test will run for every language but will only have English banners and appeals with a link to the translation hub for the fundraiser http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2011/Translation. The idea being to use this test as an opportunity to recruit more translators as well as test our methods.
If you would like to help with the translations please check the following link:

Hello Charles,
Hopefully you are not doing this in the countries which have chapters that are participating in the fundraiser as payment processors.
Please let us know ASAP.
Regards,
Chris Wikimedia UK
Sorry for the confusion. No we are not testing in*US, AU, DE, FR, CH, GB.*

The global test is delayed due to operations issues. The test is still planned for later today. More information will be sent along when available.

Hi Charles, all,
maybe I'm missing it - but I don't seem to be able to find an actual timeline (or planned timeline) for this year's fundraiser. Could you please point me to it? Thanks a lot,
Lodewijk

The offical 2011 Fundraiser page is http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2011 and don't forget to check the discussion page for more places to discuss the fundraiser. As for a time-line, the fundraiser is scheduled to start within the first two weeks of November. I will see about adding some sort of time-line to the fundraising page.

I heard back in June that it was November 1st. Since we're now two weeks away, perhaps we could have a confirmed start date.... ?

Hi,
thanks for the extra info. It would be great if a more extensive timeline could be entered into the actual information page. Dates I would be looking for:
* When should translations be finished for the first batch * When are relevant deadlines? * When is the fundraiser scheduled to start full scale testing * When does the actual fundraiser start * When should chapters etc plan to send their press releases if at all (and when will the WMF version become available for inspiration & translation) * When it is scheduled to end
Of course not everything will be defined into a day range, but some level of indication would be nice. I know from historical reasons that it is likely it starts in November, but it would be great if also people who don't know that so well can easily find it. Of course the timeline doesn't have to be binding, but rather indicative for what you expect to happen at this moment, and it could change every day/week.
Best, Lodewijk

Hi,
thanks for the extra info. It would be great if a more extensive timeline could be entered into the actual information page. Dates I would be looking for:
- When should translations be finished for the first batch
The first batch is currently being translated and as we bring in new messages, we will of course be accepting translations continuously throughout the fundraiser.
In the next week, we're planning to post the email copy we will send to past donors at the launch of the campaign for people to see ahead of time and to translate as well. We're excited because this is the first year we will be sending translated email messages to our donors. Please help us out by translating and sending this around to a couple people who could help with translation.
Jon and Siko have been working hard on translation and will have more to add on translation as we get closer to the fundraiser. Here's the link to the translation hub for more info: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2011/Translation
* When are relevant deadlines?
- When is the fundraiser scheduled to start full scale testing
We started weekly testing in June and will continue to test for the next couple of weeks until we launch the campaign. The testing will continue throughout the fundraiser.
- When does the actual fundraiser start
We haven't formally announced our start date but are aiming for November 7th with the flexibility to adjust that slightly, if needed. We're currently performing weekly systems and messaging testing, but will go up full scale around the week of November 7.
- When should chapters etc plan to send their press releases if at all (and
when will the WMF version become available for inspiration & translation)
We will put out a press release when we launch the fundraiser. I will talk with Jay about exact timing and synching up with the chapters.
- When it is scheduled to end
We're aiming to take down the fundraising banners and put up thank you messages by January 1, 2012.
Of course not everything will be defined into a day range, but some level of indication would be nice. I know from historical reasons that it is likely it starts in November, but it would be great if also people who don't know that so well can easily find it. Of course the timeline doesn't have to be binding, but rather indicative for what you expect to happen at this moment, and it could change every day/week.
Yes, thank you Lodewijk for bringing up the flexibility we're keeping with these dates and targets as our plans may change and new things will likely come up as we make our way through the fundraiser. We'll be sending out more fundraiser information and specific dates as we get closer over the next couple of weeks.
Megan
Best, Lodewijk
