Re: donation stats on the dot

I agree with Anne -- no amounts shown for personal donors. I think it
is OK to report the total monthly amount.

However, even then, there could be issues -- what if only 1 or 2
people donated? Then you have a much better idea how much they gave
(or exact if only one).

It sounds like the stats are already available somewhere -- is that correct?

Can a donor currently opt in to allow the amount they donate to be made public?
