*clears throat*
What I meant is, although undoubtedly they do exist, why are they
excluded from the daily brief reports? Especially since the content of
some should be fairly obvious to a monolingual English speaker.
And I know there are currencies other than USD. What I meant is, are
there currencies other than USD, JPY, EUR, and CAN? If not, why?
Having CAN among the four seems a bit strange to me if not
Anglocentric - we have two for primarily English-speaking countries,
but none for example for Chinese-speaking countries (ie, Yuan
Renminbi, Singapore dollar, New Taiwanese Dollar, Malaysia dollar,
etc), given that zh.wikipedia is currently the fastest-growing on the
growth curve of all the larger Wikipedias (ie, it may be growing
slower than en and de currently are, but it is growing faster than
they were when they were at a similar period) and has 20k articles
(most of the other top Wikipedias are languages spoken primarily in
Euro countries)

Are we only getting comments in English? That
doesn't seem right,
considering how much of our donations were in Euros and Yen.
Does PayPal not accept any other currencies? Or are the numbers just
too insignificant to include?

If you would glance at the detail page
(
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Fund_drives/2005/Q1/Day_2), you
would see that there are numerous non-English comments as well as
various currencies. Everything is converted to U.S. dollars, Paypal
and the Foundation being based in the U.S. and whatnot.
