I came across this article on TechCrunch: http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/05/wikipedia-affiliate-links/ not sure it's discussed already. But what are the members thoughts on this? Personally, I think it's BS.

Dear Anil, While I also think its not a great idea I do think that Wikipedia needs to find a way to keep itself humming along. The Gift/donation model is great but could it done better ?
I had pitched having flattr or bitcoin or something like that, although not sure should it be only FA's or FA's and GA's or some combination of those.
Just my 2 paise.
