Well, it ain't pretty, but I was able to hack together the German and French versions of the Wikimedia fundraising page (my OS messes up the Chinese characters so I could not do that one). I don't speak either of these languages so the results may be amusing (especially the page titles). The HTML lives here: http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geldbeschaffung (German) http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobilisation_de_fonds (French) I used Google translator to get the page names, so please move these pages to the correct title if needed. Also edit the text to improve it (the text is mostly from the donation pages on the German and French Wikipedias). There also seems to be a bunch of information at http://wikimediafoundation.org/fundraising that is not yet on the German and French versions. Please update as needed. For now, the best way to edit these pages (which are raw HTML) is with an HMTL editor such as Dreamweaver. With a little clean-up of the HTML, editing by hand shouldn't be too bad. Once the page titles are corrected I'll ask a developer to make the HTML on these page display on the Wikimedia Foundation website. Then when those pages are deemed OK, they will be linked from http://wikimediafoundation.org/fundraising and directly from a "Donations" link (correctly translated) on the German and French Wikipedias. When that happens these pages will have to be protected for security reasons (anyone who is an Admin on any Wikimedia project can become an Admin on meta simply by asking Brion at http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Brion_VIBBER/Todo_list#Sysops ). We also need translations/language versions of this text: Find out how you can help support Wikipedia's phenomenal growth. So that it can be displayed on every page (just like on en.Wikipedia) during our upcoming fundraising drive. -- Daniel Mayer (aka mav)
