The money could bring in the skills and experience I think. If a project is worth doing, it's worth doing properly (with community involvement as the key, obviously). I think Rexx's idea is a very good one - and we already know Google loves Wikipedia.

should probably fall on us to coordinate an effort of that sort.
Thoughts?
I don't think we have anything like the skills or experience to make good use of the money on that kind of project.
