Hi Larry!
We might earmark money to hire a fulltime editor again, although in
the
wikipedia system, this seems unnecessary.
In case anyone is wondering, I agree. The continuing success of
Wikipedia
in my absence--which doesn't surprise me--makes it hard to justify my return as a paid lead/organizer of Wikipedia, at least not anytime
soon
and not as long as the project is plowing ahead more or less as it
always
has.
That's right, but I'm sure your job was essential at the beginning of Wikipedia.
I think for every new international Wikipedia someone like Larry would be very helpfull. You need someone who feels responsible for the project, especially in the first months. When we have enough money maybe we should hire some enthusiastic academic guy for each Wikipedia that hasn't already "taken off" for a few months. :-)
