Hi folks,
Just a heads up that Thursday at 22:00 UTC (15:00 Pacific), we'll be running some very light banner testing to make sure that the tools we use for the fundraiser are fully optimized before we launch. We'll also take the opportunity to do a little bit of message testing. The banners will serve to a very low set of editors, but I didn't want you to be surprised if you got one.
The test is anticipated to run for one hour.
Thanks! pb ____________________ Philippe Beaudette Head of Reader Relations Wikimedia Foundation

I put some suggestions on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2010/Banner_testing (which will hopefully reduce your work).

Hi Philippe,
thanks for this advance warning. I dont recall you sharing this before on this list, but I probably just missed it.
Just for the record, I assume you will also be testing the geolocation? (which is most likely one of the things that can break, and therefore important to test - also giving the option to test chapter pages). Since I did not see any call to the chapters to update pages etc, I assume you are going to use last years infrastructure?
Best,
Lodewijk

Hi Lodewijk:
Yes, we'll be testing geolocation. In the interests of getting the tests in a functional order, we started with a "lightweight" version, and will be progressively adding levels of complexity as we get closer to the fundraiser.

I don't know if this is the perfect place, but is it possible to have statistics for donations per language this year, maybe something similar to "currency totals"?
Also, will this test include localized messages?
