Michael-
An interesting way to offer advertising, would be to
offer to let people
sponsor pages. This is done with Highways, (i.e. This section of
highway sponsored by such and such). I think many users would like this
idea, and would sponsor pages they contributed heavily to, and you could
offer packages for "advertisers" outside of the project like mentioned
above, (using some sort of algorithm to figure out what pages are
relevant) and then offer a price per page type thing.
Any kind of advertising will hurt our credibility as an educational
project. Once the Nupedia Foundation is set up[1], raising money should be
easy enough.
