How do funding drives like
http://www.linguistlist.org/donation/fund-drive2007/wikipedia/ fit into the
WikiMedia Foundation funding drives, if at all?
One of our advisory board member, in the course of a discussion over
fundraising, pointed out to that page.
Have you ever heard of that fundrive ?
Have you ever heard of linguistlist ?
Have you ever heard of linguists being paid to edit wikipedia ???
Technically, I think the linguist was being paid to facilitate the
editing of Wikipedia.
I'm surprised you hadn't heard - I know it's been discussed
(positively) on this mailing list before. It's pretty much exactly
what we could want from paid editing.
