It's seems to me like a simple case of diminishing returns. We are already 9 days past the longest previous fundraiser. There is only so much interest one can continue to draw in the long fundraiser. The blog was novel for several days, but there is only so much a simple blog can do. -Robert Rohde On Dec 5, 2007 2:42 AM, Brian McNeil brian.mcneil@wikinewsie.org wrote:

I note on the current blog post that we've very few comments on the latest post, and IIRC the one before last was similar. Is the usefulness of the blog as a tool to promote the fundraiser coming to end-of-life? Or are the mods being much more selective?

I really like the current post, it makes the case for taking the long view with Wikipedia and helping the project keep going to create a good record of events in the future, and allow the library lurkers to slowly dig up the details to fill out the pre-Wikipedia history.

Shouldn't there be something about EWW up? I only got posters in Dutch for specific events, but I did put up a couple of the more general English posters.
