Hmmm... I just tried to set up a direct debit and it seems the only option for the frequency is quarterly. I want to donate monthly. Why can't I? Obviously, the fees are greater for 3 donations of £2, say, than for one donation of £6, but I think you'll get a lot more takers if you offer monthly direct debits for the simple reason that people tend to be paid monthly.

Just to let you know, Wikimedia UK is now accepting Direct Debit donations. http://directdebit.wikimedia.org.uk/ We'll be working on making this more attractive over the next few weeks but the functionality is there. Of course if any of you felt like setting up a Direct Debit then that would be wonderful, but this email is mainly to let you know what some of us like to spend our Friday evenings doing. :-)
This is fantastic! Well done!
When I become treasurer, direct debits were one of the things I most wanted to sort out and, when I ceased to be treasurer, one of the things I was most disappointed that I hadn't been able to sort out. I'm incredibly glad you've succeeded where I failed.
