Hoi, Look at the numbers .. replace the number of articles that can be read at Citizendium with the number of articles that can be read at Wikipedia... calculate the factor that Wikipedia is bigger then Citizendium.. multiply the number of sales with this factor. Maybe this makes for a different impression of the value of the program.
Thanks, Gerard

Want a book, game, or other merchandise of a sort that you buy online? Then, if you get it from Amazon or Barnes & Noble, please order it
through
us!
See: http://tinyurl.com/29p9on
We get 6% of the price you pay--and that adds up!
Let's give credit where it's due, Nancy Sculerati, Kelly Patterson, and Jason Potkanski have set up affiliate programs with Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and have been at work on various aspects of our fundraising
efforts.
Thanks!
Already, 14 items have been ordered and 8 items shipped from Amazon,
which
has raised our referral rate (i.e., the percentage of the price you pay
that
we receive) from 4% to 6%. We've actually received some money already,
and
we're very glad to have it. We'll announce a dollar amount when we get
into
four figures.
With luck, we'll have even more fundraising news to announce soon.
