I am spreading the news around (I just posted to the
internal list)
about a new announcement going out in a couple hours. For the past few
months I have been working on a deal with Orange (France Telecom) on a
new kind of multi-platform (web, mobile, IPTV) partnership for the
Wikimedia Foundation. This partnership will extend co-branding
opportunities and have Wikipedia's knowledge brought to some new
audiences. It will also allow for us to experiment with new technologies
to improve the functionality and delivery of our content. Furthermore,
this is an additional revenue stream to build on our most important
revenue stream - our successful fundraising campaigns.
