I added a generic message called 'sitenotice' to Language.php that replaces fundraising_notice and shows up in Special:Allmessages. It's parsed as normal wiki syntax now. The code that does this is a live tweak in Setup.php on Zwinger currently, imo it would make sense to replace $wgSiteNotice with it, with a default of '-' = switched off. Opinions?
You're a bit unclear -- I'm not sure if you're saying you're replacing one "live tweak" with another, or a live tweak with a "proper" UI. My opinion is obvious: Make a proper UI. ;-) If you're saying that you're planning to make it so that any sysop can activate the site notice by setting [[MediaWiki:Sidenotice]] to some text other than '-', then yes, please go for it.
