In a press release today (http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/051020/ukth030.html?.v=1), The Wikimedia Foundation announced a new partnership with Answers.com.
A proposal was made by Answers Corporation to add a link in the sidebar of the English Wikipedia to the Wikipedia:Tools page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tools).
That page will highlight the "1-Click Answers, Wikipedia Edition" software. Revenues from this toolbar will be split with the Wikimedia Foundation. The Board have signed up to a 60-day trial of this proposal.
I would like to welcome comments on this, both before the launch early next year, and during the trial period. The talk page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Tools/1-Click_Answers should be used so that comments can be kept in one place.
Angela.
