[Wikimedia-l] compromise?

[James Salsman]

How about for the April fundraiser, instead of setting a dollar value
goal, we agree to use multivariate analysis instead of A/B testing to
optimize the messaging from volunteer submissions in advance, then run
the whole thing for a fixed time frame, say three weeks, and then use
the actual amount raised to decide whether salaries should be
competitive with area tech firms, whether Fellowships should be
jettisoned, how much personell to put into the Education Program and
engineering, and how much of a reserve to invest, preferably with low
risk instruments which pay above the rate of inflation?
