Thinking about it, we can also mention that presents (for awards) would
be welcome.

I like the letter.
One question though, would we accept "donations" from "corporations"
that are, well, not "good" ?.
For example: I don't know how I would feel getting publicity from
Microsoft at Wikimania 07.

Good question...
Question that goes beyond just Wikimania. I think it would be perfectly
fine getting a sponsorship from Bill and Melinda Foundation. From
Microsoft...
I suggest people to go and ask for sponsors use their good sense. If
asking to a Foundation and a corporation we generally feel fine toward,
just go ahead. If they think of contacting a corporation which is
ethically questionnable for us, better ask before and measure feedback ?
I would not write to Microsoft myself.
