AFAIK most donations happen in the last few weeks of the year, so the fact that the donation counter is relatively low in November is no indication. As far as I can remember it's always been like that. I don't have hard data on this, except my own memory and remembering various articles on the internet in the past year declaring the project dead based on donation count at similar times, when the counter jumped towards the end of the year. There are also some reasons why donations arrive at end of year. Only at that time big donors (and smaller ones too) have an idea IF they have money to donate, and IF they will be able to reap the fiscal advantage such donations can give. So any such worries should be postponed and reviewed around December, 31st. -- Guido Falsi <mad@madpilot.net>
