Actually, that's a great idea. Hit up some college or university campus, find a group of 5-10 people, tell 'em you'll give 'em a few bucks (20-40... depending on how many you recruit) for stuffing envelopes for WMF for a couple of hours. Most college kids are strapped for cash and would eagerly participate. While the speed of the work may not be that of a professional company, it would be cheaper, and perhaps even spark interest in Wikimedia projects if the university newspaper ran a little story about students helping out WMF (like we need more university student contributors 8^ ) ). I don't know, just throwing out some thoughts. --LV _______________________________________________
Better check out local labor laws. It is my understanding that occasionally tasks may be completed like this but if it becomes a regular thing then it is frowned upon as avoiding minimum wage laws and there can be substantial fines.
