Would you think we can provide such information, particularly what happend or would happen with the money ? I think it is worthy to inform on the WMF site.

I keep track of spending and do comparisons of actual vs budgeted spending. The board has simply not got around to approving what I've done so I can prominently link to it yet (probably since I haven't pushed much for that).

And I think it would be useful for us to why we need those fund drives and daily donation (but now I am not sure where is the best place). I hesitate to say it, but there are many people at least in Japan a non-profit organisation should rely on donation at any rate (I should add hereby the concept of non-profit organisation is relatively unfamiliar here in Japan) . Once I read a Ja sysop or someone under his name expressed his opposition toward fund drives (not on the site though) and accusation the foundation "raised" the price --- is there anything we can do to avoid misunderstanding ?

Simple: We are too popular and servers are not free.
