Hello Folks,

I am pleased to announce that the Wikimedia Foundation Mid-Year Financial Statements (covering the period July 1 through December 31, 2009) are now posted to the WMF website at:

We have also posted answers to anticipated questions:

The upshot is: The Wikimedia Foundation's financial situation continues to be strong; we have met our overall revenue goal for the year and projections say that we will exceed plan by about 50%. Expenses were underspent at the beginning of the year but are catching up and we project expenses to be close to the original plan, maybe a little higher.

Please feel free to email with any questions or concerns you have.

Veronique Kessler
