And there is no particular reason why paid staff couldn't be a viable route to a competitor. But that sounds like the annual budget. And I suppose the assumption is that doing content in English is enough. You'd have to sell a lot of advertising and/or subscriptions. There probably is a niche, at least, for a general encyclopedia that libraries would willingly pay for, written professionally. Would that worry us?
