With only ~1.5M hits per month, EN Wikinews' share of the tech / internet services budget probably only comes to a couple thousand dollars per year, in other words basically a rounding error in the budget. At the same time, many of the volunteer resources might simply be lost rather than going to work elsewhere, since volunteers are hard to redirect. In a $6 million budget, I'd honestly be disappointed if the Foundation wasn't spending at least $100k on development projects that might some day take off, and I certainly wouldn't begrudge Wikinews a share of that. One of the virtues of the Foundation is that existing infrastructure makes it very cheap to experiment and try some ideas to see what sticks. -Robert rohde _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
