If he/she sends a few million dollars to the community in a way that is independent of WMF, and we organize ourselves to accept and use the funds wisely, I will be very grateful. :)

On the subject of paid translation, I could imagine this being included
in
the scope of work for a "Wiki Community Foundation" or "Wiki Content Foundation" that would do work that WMF doesn't do and/or shouldn't do. I have a number of activities in mind for this kind of organization. Unfortunately, I do not know how to fund it. I think that this
organization
should get most of its funding from non-WMF sources, and WMF has such strong fundraising capabilities that I think that competing with WMF for funding from readers and grant-making organizations would be very difficult. If WMF would like to have conversations about how the
community
could raise funds directly from readers and non-WMF foundations, I for
one
would be very interested in having that conversation.
