[Foundation-l] Making wikimediafoundation.org more open to contributions

[koteche mcintosh]

How realistic is that?

Things change and this is completely voluntary. It just means Wiki can
branch out into-film making supporting initiatives and  communities in
places where light needs to shine. Gets people motivated. At the moment Wiki
stands for everything!!! People are looking up to it as a Brand..... and it
IS a brand whether you are ideologically opposed to that term or not... as
the case may be.

People choose to donate just like before. But on a regular basis. everyone
can see the fund. Everyone is part of the story..... this GALVANIZES
support. Shoes governments the POWER of public opinion. Creates a virtual
community striving for information in a world where information is
key......

To just side line this idea is sort sighted.
