Concerning the fund raising thing...I know that a lot of us has blogs, we
can use that to announce more about the fund raising there..Some of us
already done this but as individual efforts, but I guess it would be better
if we had a uniform way (may be a couple of HTML tags containing WikiMedia
logo & some promoting words about the issue) this will let lots of ppl to
help us announce about it...Also will let people, who may not have much
(time, info..etc) to post about it, just use the tags on their blogs yet
really helping the fund raising..
Thanks for ur time..

All -
we've set up a blog to accompany our annual fundraiser. The headlines
from the blog will be featured in the sitenotice:

I'd like to invite you to submit posts to the blog. These posts can be
provocative, and should give compelling reasons to support the
Wikimedia Foundation. You can draft posts here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2007/Why_Give_blog
Posts will be selected by a number of people: Cary Bass (our Volunteer
Coordinator), Sandy Ordonez (our Communications Manager), Sue Gardner
(Special Advisor to the Board), and myself. We'll probably try to have
a new post every 2-3 days at least.
Once again, the point of these posts is first and foremost to invite
the general public to donate. :-) Please submit stories in this
general spirit.
If you are willing to act as a moderator for comments to vet out spam
& trolling, please contact Cary Bass at <cbass AT wikimedia DOT org>.
For now, this is an experiment and as such, only in English. We will
set up blogs in other languages if this one has a measurable impact on
our fundraising.
Thanks for any and all help!
