First the wikipedia.de kerfuffle gives us a boost, and now this!
Anyone fancy going out and stirring up another controversy? :)
More seriously though, its great to see the fundraiser doing so well
this year - the professionalism is evident and it's paying off. I've
spent far too long the past few months being bombarded with various
companies' expensive, fancy, glossy recruiting brochures - and I have
to say that WMF's Annual Report looks better than all of them! Great
work Rand, and everyone else involved.
