The WMF is unique in being so massively volunteer driven. The WMF
exists to run the servers and handle the admin, almost everything else
is done by volunteers and doesn't appear on the income statement. It's
inevitable that the WMF will spend a lot of its money on admin. If you
include volunteer time on the income statement, even at a nominal rate
of $1/hr or something, then we would be spending almost all our
resources on programmes.
