Better put!!!

Except for the ads, it's an excellent idea. Transparent, online access
to accounts and a permanently donating community.

It does not mean that there will be a change in the business modal (free and
accessible) but it will give the wiki community (all people that use and
contribute etc) a sense of it self!

Also there is more and more media u-tube etc and wiki has a strong position
to protect! As the increasing "threat" from the internet governments feel to
be real. Wiki is in a position to be at the forefront of a positive change
in a global community. It already is.

Such a scheme will also be a litmus test of the global support for Wiki and
the freedom it represents.

People are a force to be reckoned with
