Wiki Project Med already has made steps in this direction in the area of
Medicine. Perhaps we could help bring together similar initiatives and give
them a framework to develop within.

The money could bring in the skills and

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.

The most impact that we could realise on a global

make the
knowledge in the English Wikipedia available to
people who don't speak
English. £500,000 and Google technical support would go a long way to
realising some of that goal.
As the largest established chapter in the English-speaking world, the
onus
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.
