Sorry, I&#39;ve just re-read this email again and realised it sounds very bossy. I didn&#39;t really mean it to ;-)<div><br></div><div>We&#39;re fairly well set up for the fundraiser, but input from the community would still be really useful. There are some things which past experience shows can&#39;t really be crowdsourced even for a Wikimedia fundraiser, but there are other things which definitely can. </div>
<div><br></div><div>So if you&#39;re interested in helping raise £1,000,000 for the Wikimedia movement this Autumn, please do have a look at the list of ways to get involved and see which of them takes your fancy. :-D</div>
<div><br></div><div>(I&#39;ve also put a readiness &amp; risk report on the Fundraiser on my report for Tuesday&#39;s board meeting, which you can see here; <a href="http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Reports_11Oct11#Chris_Keating_.28Director.29">http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Reports_11Oct11#Chris_Keating_.28Director.29</a>)</div>

<div><br></div><div>In particular there are 5 ways YOU can help. (YES, ALL OF YOU)</div><div><br></div><div>1. We still need more British Wikimedia stories, please give us yours here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&amp;formkey=dF9MNkx5dGsxcFBmOHhGNWZmaC0zcXc6MQ#gid=0" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&amp;formkey=dF9MNkx5dGsxcFBmOHhGNWZmaC0zcXc6MQ#gid=0</a></div>

<div><br></div><div>2. There is a &quot;Thankyou page&quot; that donors see once their payment has gone through. At the moment, it&#39;s extremely rudimentary. Please help improve it! <a href="http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Thanks" target="_blank">http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Thanks</a></div>

<div><br></div><div>3/4: I&#39;d be really interested in hearing from web developers and copywriters who are interested in getting involved in the fundraiser. If you think this might be you, please drop me an email.</div>

<div><br></div><div>5. Come along to the EGM - or if you know you can&#39;t make it, *submit a proxy authority* - so that we have a quorate meeting and can stay on track to become a registered charity before the start of the fundraiser. <a href="http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/EGM_2011" target="_blank">http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/EGM_2011</a></div>
