Because we don't expect to be JUST Wikipedia forever. We have a lot
of innovation ahead of us. If we stand still, we'll be overtaken.
With more funding, we can responsibly begin to expand beyond the
confines of Wikipedia-as-we-currently-know-it.
If we collected only what we need to stay afloat, then all we'll do is
stay afloat. I hope in future we'll expand and see a corresponding
increase in donations.
