I must take exception to that because I did a lot of work last year on
several aspects of fundraising, including button design, some of which
(e.g. the proposed button with Jimbo's face on it) wasn't even A/B
tested even after the A/B test harness had been developed.
I meant the code: CentralNotice, DonationInterface, GeoLite,
ContactPageFundraiser, the Drupal extension, etc. I didn't think you
were a committer.
I was never
told why there was no A/B test of that button. It seems like I had to
ask over and over before anyone even did any A/B tests in the first
place. Frankly, my efforts to help with fundraising are more
inspiring than a lot of the other things I try to do to help, but
inspiration is generally orthogonal to frustration. However, I know
one of my responsibilities as a volunteer to keep asking until things
get done. Furthermore, how do you expect effective help with
fundraising when the fundraising mailing list and archives are closed?
I'm not on any fundraising mailing list.
