Bear in mind that the request here is for the 3
coolest projects, and that the audience is going to be Wikimania attendees (i.e. mostly
Wikimedians), presumably with the hope of getting them to do similar projects in their
countries. So as cool as things like direct debits are, I don't think they'll
particularly enthuse a room full of Wikimedians to do something similar elsewhere... (but
I could well be wrong).
I'd like other Wikimedians to replicate our success with recurring
donations. At the very least, it would be good to get people thinking
about a financial model that doesn't rely on 2 months of frantic
fundraising each year.
P.S. does anyone 'lead the movement'? ;-) I
think Jon meant 'Leading the public relations during ...'
We led the movement in the public relations effort. "Leadership" means
more than "being in charge". WMUK can, and should, take a position of
leadership in the movement, even though we aren't in charge of anyone
else.
