While it might have been appropriate for ASF projects such as AOO to
join today's SOPA/PIPA protest, I agree that it's too late to
coordinate now. The Wikipedia community has been working towards their
protest action for more than a week, including a town hall meeting and

Hi Rob,
I think the problem is that ASF doesn't have a policy of paying for
development. Additionally, monies that do come in through the Sponsorships
