Brian McNeil (Wikinews) posted to foundation-l a suggestion of a Wikimedia toolbar for Firefox that would count your page views and suggest a cash donation to WMF when you'd reached 100 Wikimedia pages or whatever. I suggest an extra feature: you can pay in cash *or* effort
Let's see... 15,000 page requests/second = 473 billion requests per year for Wikipedia? At $4.7 million dollars to handle those requests that means I owe $0.00001 per page request. At a below minimum wage rate of $5/hour, I guess I owe 0.72 seconds of effort for every 100 Wikimedia pages I view.
