[Wikipedia-l] Day 11 Fund Drive Report ; we exceeded our goal so this is the final day!

[Daniel Mayer]

Note: the fund drive is already over

On Day 11 (Monday 28 February eastern US timezone since PayPal data are not
available in UTC) $19,926.59 (USD equivalent) was added to our running total.
This brings us well past our fund drive goal of $75,000 and thus Day 11 is the
last day of the fund drive. 

$7,017.15 were added through PayPal (completed payments only) and $12,909.44
were reported from Wikimedia Deutschland (this includes donations from the 18th
to the 25th to Wikimedia Deutschland; actual amount reported was 9777.66
Euros). No updates were available for other sources at this time. 

This is an increase of 390.55% from Day 10 and represents 23.29% of total funds
collected so far ($85,563.52 ; only counting full days). At the end of Day 10
we had reached 114.08% of our goal. Additional updates are needed before a
final grand total can be reported.
