How about making a free version and an (identical!) "Support Wikipedia"
version that has absolutly the same features, but costs $2 that go to
WMF as a donation? :)
Why we should do this: It's an extremly simple way for users to donate
money. No entering of credit card or bank account information necessary,
just select one app instead of another.

Very rough estimate: 20M total downloads, 0.5% download the "Support
Wikipedia" version for $2, that's $200k.

Sounds like something we should experiment with.
