[Foundation-l] Putting the Foundation back in WMF

[GerardM]

Hoi,
We can even sell our servers to the leasing company and get all this money
and realise our budget. Because it will be obvious that we can do the same
trick again next year, right ?

Actually consider the original proposal for setting aside money for leaner
times. With the systems that we have we can maintain our current
requirements and "only" have to pay for bandwidth and hosting. I think our
current system of buying our servers, and not pay the leasing company
overhead, is right in the middle between these two extremes.

Thanks,
    GerardM
