As a point of interest; what *exactly* does need to be done for the fundraiser? I've seen no actual specification; and what I was suggesting when we last had these discussions is that we outline more specifically the needs in this area.

I am not a technical person, so my specification isn't going to be very technical, but the work that needs to be done is:
* Set up landing pages on a Wikimedia UK-owned domain that will do what https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/L11_WMUK_email/GB/en does
* Create donation forms on that domain which will take the information provided by a donor on the landing page and allow them to fulfill a donation via Paypal or SmartDebit, in a way which automatically populates CiviCRM with data on completed transactions
* Via CiviCRM or otherwise, automate the sending of a personalised thankyou email to donors who have completed a transaction
* Either develop or manage the development of extensions to CiviCRM which will streamline the way we handle Direct Debit donations and Gift Aid in the database, enabling us to make greater use of CiviCRM 's built-in reporting tools
* Ensure all of the above still works at the expected loads for the beginning of the fundraser
* Provide ongoing technical support so that if something breaks while people are trying to give us money, it gets fixed.

I hope this makes sense!

Chris
