swap comma & decimal point

mav, somebody's been asking about the possibility of changing the template:fund drive text to swap comma & decimal point for the european languages (specifically de). '$50,000' looks like '$50.000' to us and is a bit odd. ;)

If it's possible to tweak the templates to do this sort of thing without too much trouble that would be great. --Brion VIBBER 05:02, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Will do. --mav

Great work Mav. Thanks for the information :-) Anthere

NP! :) --mav

Hi. I just had a curious time. I saw on day 2, a european donation made by a guy called Philip Stoop. My coworker is called Philippe Stoop. As far as I thought, no one knew anything about Wikipedia in my firm. Perhaps it is him, perhaps not. But very disturbing to discover this. ant

Why disturbing? Would that not be a good thing? :) --mav
Not sure... well, some of my co workers know now, I am a bit bugged by this.

Anyway, do you have all the necessary papers for now ? and do you think we'll be able to do soon a budget meeting ? Anthere

Yes - anytime after Thursday. --Daniel Mayer 06:48, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the history repor :-)

We really need to identify more of the uncategorized as well as to give more precision one way or another about the travel expenses. As is, we just cant leave that this way. I can foresee huge discussions and bad vibes for the fundraising. Anthere

That is already planned. I just happened to finish the draft right before Jimmy had to leave for a conference. He has already been sent the spreadsheet concerning travel and uncategorized items. --mav

Wikimedia FR

Hiya

I was told the paypal interface of french page is in english (rather than french).

I was told

  • FoeNyx* au cas ou il sait pas et pour eviter qu'il cherche, faut juste rajouter <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="fr" /> ou <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="de" /> dans les forms qui envoient les infos a paypal
  • FoeNyx* lc comme "language code"

Hmmm, can you fix that ? I dare not :-) Anthere

Argh! So that is how PayPal changed it (this has annoyed me for some time). The way they had it before was that anything in the /fr/ directory on their site was French. Then after I created the templates they changed it so that no longer worked. But your above info should be what I need to fix this. Thank you for the report! :) --mav

Wikimedia Germany donations

Hi Mav,

Our chief of finance Henriette wrote on Friday, that she email you the latest donations-statistics for WikiMedia Germany, but the Fund drive page does not show any of this yet. Did you not receive the email?

You find the latest results for Germany on the WikiMedia Germany page, but it is in german. Can you read german a bit?

If you really did not get the email, please let Wikimedia germany know that by sendin an email to the Board vorstand@wikimedia.de , so we all of the board will have your correct email address.

Thanks for your help :-) Fantasy 09:11, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Mav the German page says that between the 18th and 25th of February 343 donations were done for a total of 9.777,66 Euro which is accirding to: http://www.xe.com/ucc/ 12.9588 USD Waerth 17:32, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I'm waiting for the average donation rate numbers so I can subtract those from the total. --mav

Fund drive delays

Thank you for your kind notice, I hope to be of help in some way, though I only can do some minor tasks. Anyway I am going to move "Donation" pages where they are marked as ready. --M7 21:39, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks. That helps a lot since I have limited time. :) -- mav
