Does this mean we'll finally be able to run wikimedia out of a trust fund?
I'd be more interested in being around for 100 years than having a billion
dollars to play with, however tempting the latter might seem at first blush.
Running as lean as possible and not _depending_ on too much income is another
way to be sure we'll still be around in 2106. We can't count on always having
goodwill.
read you soon,
