(Product)^RED (RED is in superscript) is a brand name which works with other well-known brands to produce a product of which at least 1% of the profit goes to (Product)^RED, and this goes in aid of helping fight AIDS and related diseases. See http://joinred.com for information Why not set up a (Wikipedia)^RED which would essentially be a skin through which the normal Wikipedia is viewed: it would change the colours to red (or shades thereof), have a different Main Page which explains the scheme and has inobtrusive advertisements on the side (under the interwiki links) which generate revenue to do to (Product)^RED (and Wikimedia). I think that the aim of this is wholly consistent with that of the Wikimedia Foundation, and I would like to hear your views. -- -Daniel (meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Dbmag9) dbmag9.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l(a)wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l

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
