Some fundraising updates:

1) I've posted the updated donations FAQ to the WMF website, and
replaced the link in the landing page. I've also moved the title of
the old fundraising FAQ. Thanks to Sara & Delphine for helping write
this FAQ, and thanks to Sue & Rand for reviewing it.

2) I've updated the financial information graphic and text in the
fundraising landing page with up to date numbers.

3) I've removed completely the secondary bank information box - it
seems unnecessarily redundant with the primary donation form. I've
added the English text "You can donate via PayPal, credit card, bank
transfer, or check." to the primary donation box.

4) I've replaced the financial link at the bottom with a link to
up-to-date financial information.

I think that's it - these edits should all be traceable through my
contributions on wikimediafoundation.org. Edits to the Donate/xx
(xx=language) pages should be relatively straightforward.

I would appreciate help in rolling out these changes in the other
languages. Please note that Rand is currently planning the changes for
the next online fundraiser in October, and we will likely roll out a
new landing page then. These fixes are just an interim solution.
