[Wikimedia-l] Fundraising Banner?

[Joshua Van Davier]

Hi Abbas,


I'm glad Richard, Theo, and Michael were able to jump in and provide you
with this information. As mentioned, the fundraising team is currently
running a short test in a few countries to increase efficiency and improve
our donor experience. They will all be very short (a week or less) and
should just show up for anonymous users.


We put this test on the CentralNotice calendar here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CentralNotice/Calendar and we're running a
shorter test than originally planned, but this email does bring to light
that fact that we could be more proactive in communicating this information
to the community. I'll talk with the rest of the team to make sure this is
in a more visible place for future tests.


Thanks, and feel free to let me know if you have anymore questions or
concerns.


Best,
Josh
