2011 Wikimedia fundraiser

Rationale
The Annual fundraiser is the largest revenue generator for the foundation and happens annually. Lots of the discussion about the annual fundraiser happens on meta.

Timeline

 * July 2011 - November 2011 (pre-fundraiser)
 * Fundraiser prep work
 * New features
 * Bug fixes to old problems
 * Any necessary major re-architecting of the pipeline (for scalability, resilience, etc).
 * November 2011 - January 2012 (fundraiser)
 * Support broader fundraising team (bug fixes, new features as needed, etc)

Methodology
As a general rule, the fundraising team works in two-week development sprints, with specific tasks decided based on priority during the sprint prior.

We are also building a backlog of necessary tasks that can be worked on outside of the regular development sprints.
