I would love to see the Foundation support archive.org and webcitation.org. I have seen dozens of community members express hopes for Foundation monetary support of both continued survival and faster response time for both. But I am not aware of any acknowledgement from the Foundation other than Jimmy saying that he hoped someone would help them apply for grants. Did anyone in the Foundation ever do that?
And in line with my hopes that the Foundation will some day start acting in direct support of the volunteer community, I would love to see some direct financial support for e.g. paywatch.org and healthcare-now.org. Systematic polling of the community is the correct way to decide the allocation of scarce resources. We need more than the goals that were set back when the community was growing apparently exponentially. We need something that proves to editors, would-be editors, and former editors that the Foundation is trying to improve their lives. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
