New Year's gift for Wikipedia

Money is the best gift, at least for non-profit organizations. An anonymous donation of $ 286,800 to the Wikimedia Foundation was a pleasant surprise for Wikipedia and all its users.

The philanthropist who wished to remain anonymous transferred money to the account of the Wikipedia Foundation, which was funded on December 27th. Find out who did it, for ordinary users is not possible.

At the moment, the Wikimedia Foundation has already collected more than 700 thousand US dollars - and this amount is gradually increasing. Suffice it to say that in the last 24 hours the amount of donations has increased by approximately $ 30,000. “In return,” the Wikipedia developers promise the introduction of RSS feeds, an IRC robot, and “something else.” Get more information about the "wiki-fundraising" on a special site .
