My concern is getting Wikipedia written faster and better. If people  
make money along the way, more power to them. It's worked on Deutsche  
Wikipedia and it can work here.

If we reject this policy, incidentally, we'd also have to reject all  
of Larry Sanger's contributions--he was a paid editor-in-chief during  
his tenure.
