I think it's that if you were to enable the RED option in your settings, you'd get a new skin, a different Main Page, and advertisements. Money earned from the ads goes towards AIDS research and partially towards Wikimedia.
It sounds like a good idea, as long as it's off by default.
Except that we have to do all of the work, pay to use the (RED) name, and put ads on Wikipedia. Who's going to volunteer to collect all the revenue and handle all the donations to the Global Fund? Why pay to use their brand name? If WMF really wanted to donate to the Global Fund, why not just make a straight donation and skip all the licensing fees? Just my thoughts though. --LV
