Toby,

I don't know if it's "altruism" -- I'm just trying to accomplish our mutual goal as efficiently as possible.

If I can get more people to focus on writing the kinds of articles I want to see, by donating 15 minutes here or 30 minutes there -- and this harnesses 5 staff-hours of time (300) minutes of other writers' time...

Everyone who donates time or money to this project is altruistic. If my "perspective" has any praiseworthy aspect, perhaps it has more to do with my concern for efficiency. Call it a "management" perspective, maybe.
