[Foundation-l] An article to read

[Dirk Riehle]

The primary criterion I use to determine whether "to trust" a non-profit 
is the percentage of income that goes to the projects as opposed to 
administration/bureaucratic efforts. While you can still game that, I 
think it is a good indicator of how serious an organization is about its 
mission.

I figure the WMF would excel at that. Maybe still too small to avoid 
fluctuations, I would nevertheless put this number out, track it over 
the years, and compare it with other charities.
