The next fundraising drive is scheduled to start on Friday 19 August and last until Friday 9 September. Much work needs to be done to make this a successful event.

See the coordination page here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fund_drives/2005/Q3_planning

Translation work is especially needed, but first we need to figure out what needs to be translated. I'll send an update on this point tomorrow.

Any help will be greatly appreciated given the amount we are shooting for: $200,000. By far the largest increase in expenses is the amount we need to spend on new servers.

Daniel Mayer, Wikimedia CFO

PS - A budget of $198,000.00 for this quarter was approved of during the Sunday board meeting. It will be posted to the foundation wiki sometime during the next day or so.
