I'm just wondering, "why?"
Erik Moeller gives the answer above. If we wait until the tax deduction stuff
is in place, and until we have an easy mechanism for accepting donations, then
the "wikimedia foundation" announcement will be more lucrative.
And since we're now a foundation, we can equate "lucrative" with
"good". :)
