Some problems; What are we going to do with all that money? If we can't spend it, would that jeopardize our nonprofit status? I think it would be a step backwards for Wikimedia to become a for-profit organization.
I think we should hire full-time editors especially for the non-English Wikipedias. The English Wikipedia had a full-time Larry Sanger to help jump-start the Wikipedia, but the other languages (to my knowledge) never had such luxuries. As I said before, I would propose Brion Vibber (technical support, non-English wikis) and Arno Lagrange (Esperanto Wikipedia editor) as full-time employees. Arno is now trying to start a Wikipedia organization in France to be able to legally work full-time for the Esperanto Wikipedia.
Also, I've never heard of having too much money as being a problem. I mean, we're a foundation! Lots of foundations have millions of dollars... We could use the money to hold Wikipedia seminars and conferences. We could also use the money to finance other worthy educational projects like other foundations do. "Sponsored by Wikimedia"
