- The Fundraiser has started.
- Gmaxwell on the foundation-l mailing list:
"My agreement is tempered only by curiousity about what Wikimedia will
do now that there is a nearly 5 million dollar budget for next year
when the public will not donate more than 2 million during this
fundraiser. Would selling Davis' seat on the board to the highest bidder be more
wise than ads?"
- If Apple is now putting Wikipedia as an option for their dictionary tool in the new operating system ([http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/300.html#dictionary proof]) has anyone from the foundation turned to them for a token of gratitude - i.e. money or hardware?
- Is there donation matching by corporations this time? There's been no mention of it.
