Actually please don't donate money for that - giving me money will not increase
the number of hours in the day or reduce the number of hours I need to sleep
(Wikipedia/Wikimedia is nearly a second full time job for me). Also, doing so
would only add a small incentive for me to do more work in this area since I
strongly suspect that such pay would pale in comparison to what I now receive
as a GIS specialist (thus I would have to keep my day job). A full time server
admin is far more important. 

More voluneers welcome in the finance department. :)
