I might also recommend doing it with WMF funds in 20 years when we have a massive endowment paying all our running costs and get billions of dollars donated a year. But right now we cannot justify the expense that would almost certainly be required. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
