Wikipedia raised $16M in 50 days

I thought this was an interesting follow-up to our recent discussion in Professor Grossblatt's class.

You might remember that last year, Wikipedia had an ad from its founder along the top of its page asking readers to donate money.

According to The Economist, Wikipedia raised $16 million in 50 days to help sustain its "free" content.

The article notes that Wikipedia has 78 full-time staff, and it also discusses some things Wikipedia must deal with moving forward.
