As the expenses for Wikipedia have generally before just recently been paid
by Jimbo himself there was no need for accounting. Now it seems we should do
what you suggest as there is a public interest in where the money goes.
Donating is pretty much a new thing at this point for us.

Subject: [Wikitech-l] Donation History
I don't suppose that there is a history graph of the donations to Wikimedia.
I was currious
how much of the US$31k was raised as a result of Jimmy Wales' December 28
letter and the
associated Slashdot coverage. I was also wondering if Wikimedia's
accounting ledegers are
open to the public. If not, why (this isn't a flame, I'm sure that there is
a good enough
reason)?
Thanks for the great site. In my opinion Wikimedia deserves at least
another US$30k in 2004.
