[Wikimedia-l] Fundraiser launch update

It's hard to predict, but yes, Thomas's numbers are probably about right.
This year, to be cautious, we'll err on the side of raising more from these
5 countries. But if the April campaign is very efficient (money per banner
impression) then we'll be able to balance the distribution better in
2013-14.
