We met and then well-exceded the goal to raise $75,000 (USD) in this quarter's
fund drive. See http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Fund_drives/2005/Q1 for
details (still waiting for final numbers in every source category so final
grand total will be higher).
I consider 11:59 PM Monday 28 February 2005 (eastern US timezone since PayPal
data are not available in UTC) as the official end of our fund drive for
accounting purposes. As of right now though, all fund drive notes should be
replaced by congratulatory messages that can be left until midnight on Thursday
(UTC). After that, [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice]] should be blanked until the next
fund drive.
For reference, here is the message displayed on the English Wikipedia:
<!-- this notice should stay until 12AM Thursday 11 March -->
<div class="fundraising" id="fundraising" style="margin-top:5px;">
You did it! Thanks to your generosity we exceeded our fund drive goal by 15%.

My regular home computer will not boot for some unknown reason, so I will not
be able to run the Day 10 (Sunday) report at this time. Day 11 (Monday) will be
the final report for this fund drive.

IMHO the English Wikipedia was and continues to be better than
the German one, both in terms of quality and quantity. This of course
does not hold for topics that are related to Germany.
