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.
