WereSpielChequers, I believe we either tried or considered all those things and more.
I think we established continuing donations sometime half-way through the fundraiser, it mostly depends on the payment intermediaries- Philippe and Megan really worked hard on getting it. From what I recall, Zack and the rest of the team considered all those things and many more to reach out to possible benefactors during the fundraiser. They didn't just consider money raised per ad, but a whole host of metrics about every banner and every minute detail. Do bear in mind that there are a lot of legal limitation when dealing with such an international user-base - things like merchandising are governed by non-profit policies, internationalizing is another issue we have to consider. The foundation is limited in that option and that is where the chapters need to take the lead in establishing donation infrastructure in their respective countries.
