We need some sort of think tank (well some thing with a better name)
non-profit that people donate to. To have it hire people to crank out
MediaWiki features outside of just the stuff WMF wants.
I'd love to spend 80% of my time cranking out fringe MediaWiki features
where what the community wants and what my specialties are intersect.
