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

Dexia

Hi Daniel, Can you if possible also give updates of balance of the dexia-account? I am personal very interested in those figures. I like to know how Europa is donation. And if the people include a text message like the PayPal-users do, can or will the also be put online? If it is not easy to do so a update only every 5 or 7 days is also fine. Greetings, Walter 20:46, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The only way I get updates on that is through the little postcards they send each day. The first batch should arrive Monday or Tuesday to the wm office and then Danny will forward those to me. --Daniel Mayer 21:15, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
"Postcards"?? You do not have internet-banking access? That surprises me strongly. Can I help? The bank where the account is is very close to me. I was present when Jimbo opened that bank account and did the preparations for it. Walter 21:22, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Nope. I do not have online access. Do you have any kind of access? --Daniel Mayer 21:31, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
At present; no. That account is opened around December 2004, when there was FOSDEM in Brussels. I have done the lobbying for the creation of a European bank account in the name of the Wikimedia Foundation so there was no need anymore to have a credit card and waste money on the high PayPal fees. When Jimbo was here in Belgium he, Angela and I have gone to the Dexia-bank and opened the account in the name of the Wikimedia Foundation, Florida. The guy of the bank told Jimbo that he needed to fill in some forms and fax them to them so he could get access to the internet banking.
I assumed that Jimbo/Wikimedia Foundation had done that. What can you do with a bank account without internet-access to it?
If you contact Dexia you can probably still get internet access to it. The telephone number of that office is +3224649540 and the fax number is +3224649549. You can also use me to go to there to try to fix this. But I have not access to that account so I can not sign anything in the name of the Wikimedia Foundation. Walter 22:10, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Have you news about this? Are you or Jimbo contacting Dexia to get webbanking working? Walter 22:20, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Admin switch

Hey Mav, could you comment at Talk:Fundraising#Perhaps this page should be protected? Redwolf24 12:10, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Fundraising

Hello, David. Do you think the fundraising has still sense, considering http://business.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,9075-1962714,00.html ? where jimbo talks about ads ? I don't wait for your answer. I have this question in my brain, that's all ;D I wish you 2 happy last days in 2005. Alvaro 08:47, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
