Wikipedia: On the brink? Or crying wolf?
Likely much ado about nothing, but one thing's for sure, I'd hate to see Wikipedia disappear anytime soon.
"Florence Devouard, chairwoman of the Wikimedia Foundation, has touched off a tempest with her suggestion in a talk at the Lift07 conference that Wikipedia has funding for only another quarter and "might disappear" if donations don't pick up." Above is an excerpt from the following article: http://www.networkworld.com/community/?q=node/11376 |

I'd say she's crying wolf. Wikipedia may be a good place to start an education on a subject it certainly isn't, by its nature, the last hit.
Besides if Wikipedia dies the vacuum will be filled by another site. |

Donations! Hahahaha! Re-read her words - That is how I would word or in more clear terms, that is executive speak for "We have to add advertising now to help cover the costs of maintaining our servers" speak. Trust me - I am about 90% accurate on what is about to happen to Wikipedia.

Yup. At the moment Wiki does not make a penny, but the monetary value of wiki runs well into the 100s of millions because of the potential cash it could produce with a little subtle product placement.
