That would be amazing. There was a company that offered 100 accounts
to a database, I forget which one, and a page was put up so that
people could apply randomly for them -- first come, first served. This
meant the accounts went to quite a few people who don't edit much, yet
it was a substantial donation. I felt it was a good example of the
Foundation not seeing things from the point of view of content
contributors.
