I'll try to put together a graph showing daily donations during
the pledge drive. That'll be later this week, though.
Everything is open to the public, but there isn't much to see. I
don't spend any money privately, everything is publicly stated. When
there are actual accounting documents (balance sheet, income
statement) at year end, those will be publicly posted as well.
Generally, the expenses are hardware only, and bank fees, which are
minimal. There's no spending for salaries, expense accounts, none of
that sort of thing. And I pay for the bandwidth, and will continue to
do so for the foreseeable future.

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.
