First of all, I'm glad there's a Wikimedia Shop. I don't think it'll
make big money, but even if it's only self-sustaining it's totally worth it.
I also think that generally we should be happy to try stuff out and use
banners to advertise new services.
However, I share with Mono the worry tha

*Is it appropriate to risk the very real risk of banner blindness for the
shop?* Where do we draw the line?

Here in the Netherlands the banner can be seen e.g. on
de.wikipedia.org. I don't know what to think about it, it makes a

James,
Do be careful about using FedEx for stuff that has to be there by a
