Contribution target gone up?
« on: March 09, 2010, 02:50:01 AM »
Yo!
I apologise that I'm probably not the person to be questioning this (I promise, I am going to restart my contributions soon!) but I was wondering why the target for the contributions has risen?

I wasn't aware of any new servers or boxes yet we've gone up by £50-odd? Not a complaint, just curious as to why :)

A quick note to say what's happenin' with this.

The recently updated Donations Pro system (which we use to automate the PayPal stuff) maintains it's own rolling/cummulative balance, based on a target for the calendar year.  I've only just got m' head 'round that, but haven't yet tied it back to actual figures.

I've already got historical financial summary info for the last 5mths, which I'll get into a publishable format asap.  Next I'll prep the target/budget info.

The finances remain in good shape.  They'll be more visible and comprehensible sometime soonish, viewable to Contributors.
