Our exponentially increasing costs (was Re: [Foundation-l] Re: Answers.com and Wikimedia Foundation to Form New Partnership)

[Dan Grey]

Is it reasonable to believe that donations will increase in line with
readers? Has anyone analysed the available data to see if this is
happening?

I'd also like to hear from the dev team (Domas? Kate?) as to whether
our per-user hardware/bandwidth costs go up or down with increased
readership (ie does it cost more per user to server lots of users
rather than a few?).
