Would you think we can provide such information, particularly what
happend or would happen with the money ? I think it is worthy to
inform on the WMF site.

And I think it would be useful for us to why we need those fund drives
and daily donation (but now I am not sure where is the best place). I
hesitate to say it, but there are many people at least in Japan a
non-profit organisation should rely on donation at any rate (I should
add hereby the concept of non-profit organisation is relatively
unfamiliar here in Japan) . Once I read a Ja sysop or someone under
his name expressed his opposition toward  fund drives (not on the site
though)  and accusation the foundation "raised" the price --- is there
anything we can do to avoid misunderstanding ?
