I agree with Ant - we have spent lots of time making Wikipedia look so slick, we've lost our boldness for conversing with visitors. There was a time when we were more willing to put solicitations and "You can edit this page now" messages on the site.

May I suggest that next time we are slashdotted, someone please add a highly visible link at the TOP of the main page, at least on the english wikipedia, for say 2 or 3 days, so that perhaps some visitors feel like making a small donation ?
The events are very demanding on servers, last week, we were all slowed down a lot for 2 days, so visitors might understand the need for more hardware.
Besides, given the number of discussions last week on slashdot, about donation issues, that is perhaps best to show clearly where donations could be made :-)
So, slashdot events would be beneficial both in terms of contributors and in terms of revenue ?
