The thing is, the vast majority of those tens of thousands of
participants don't really care about the foundation.  They just want
to work on a free encyclopedia/free news reporting service/free image
repository/whatever.

It'd be interesting if nothing else to see just what percentage of
Wikipedians have any desire at all of being Wikimedians.
