Talk:Donations

• http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Fundraising#Donation_methods -- anybody up to this? track man hours as well as money. i know screwing around with all this stuff doesn't DIRECTLY impact the project, but i like to look back sometimes for some R&R --Phalseid 05:27, 29 Dec 2006 (NZST)

What are you asking here exactly? anybody up for what? --Nad 05:44, 29 Dec 2006 (NZST)

sorry, you know how they have this thing embedded in the header that shows how much money is raised? i thought it might be cool to have a little thingy that shows how much time/money is in the project so far as a graphic. ?? or not. just an idea. --Phalseid 05:47, 29 Dec 2006 (NZST)

Yeah I could make one of those - but not until there's a channel of donations for it to be rendering from. As for the time aspect, it depends how well we're all keeping our hours and in what formats... I'm quite particular about knowing the time I spend on the different aspects of research, development and admin etc but its all in an open-office spreadie - I have made a parser for OO spreadie's though so I could make a script to extract a worklog. --Nad 06:20, 29 Dec 2006 (NZST)

it would be swell to have an accumulator on the wiki, would be very usefull for tracking client time accurately as well for coding, documenting, etc. --Phalseid 06:24, 29 Dec 2006 (NZST)

i can open up a state-side account and give you access to it...let me know your thoughts, name/bus name to put on it... --Phalseid 21:16, 12 Oct 2006 (NZST)

I just wanted to set up a dedicated account for the site which can easily be paid into and purchases made from it which the new paypal account does, but if there's a good reason for having it then maybe...? --Nad 21:32, 12 Oct 2006 (NZST)

paypal requies a bank account to link to it. do you want to open a NZ bank account for this, or do you want me to open up a state-side account for this (admins would have full access)??--Phalseid 21:45, 12 Oct 2006 (NZST)

I see, you mean that if we want to accept credit card transactions we'd need to be verified? that's probly a good idea then because I'm not allowed to set up a bank account since I get beaten by security guards with batons if I try and enter a bank - maybe even if I walked near to one. No hurry though because we can still accpet normal paypal payments, and really this is all about setting up an example of wiki workflow than anything else. --Nad 22:18, 12 Oct 2006 (NZST)
