This problem with the adress wikilegal-l being inserted in some messages has been going on for a while now;
It is a problem with gname, and I have no idea how to fix it.
I just know that it makes all those prefixed messages refused by the mailing list system.
I suggested that those still posting to wikilegal-l remove the adress from their mails, and only post to foundation-l, so that it does not break the gname system. But ... :-(
Would anyone caring for mailing list has an idea how to fix this problem ?

my answer to Michael is at the end of this message :-)

I too wish to express my misgivings at getting
the grant. There's
always strings attached, and targets have to be

gonna run it? Who's gonna keep track of the
money, the milestones,
etc...
I would rather mav publish a monthly budget and
post that to the
front page, like this:
This month, we need $4000 to meet expenses. So
far, users have
contributed $2800. Thank you!
If budget is met, then you write: This month's budget has been met. Thank you!
It needs to be updated daily.
I strongly disagree with this. A budget is not something you balance week per
week or even month per
month. We must plan it. In advance. A budget is
something you have to
organise, to take into account structural needs,
contingencies, and
see how to best use the remaining.
With respect to budgets, and also with respect to
the financial
management involved in running a grant, Anthere is
quite right. The
people who have to do the actual work cannot get
the job done if they
have to spend half or more of their time keeping
everyone constantly
updated on what they're doing.
However, it would be nice to see more frequent
updates just about
fundraising progress, which is what this
suggestion focuses on.
I agree. This is planned to be on the new fundation website, as part of the feedback the organisation can provide donors.

Please add to the page :-)
