This is a point though where I really have to say something.
At this time, with its prominence as a premier web-presense,
wikipedia *will* not run out of money to run.
We are so well established as top-tier, that even just tickling
that prominence for drops of ad or adlike revenue would
pretty much swamp us with more money than the foundation
has *fundamental* need for, to keep physically running
indefinitely.
So the matter of the foundation going broke is not even a
red herring at this point, infact it is so far off the scale that
common similes fail here.
There are levels of survival that are more acceptable than others.
