Jimmy Wales announced Wikipedia’s success in reaching the $6 million funding goal, and urged all keen in the cuase of the free culture movement to get involved. (Thanks to ResourceShelf) Excerpt:
Since July 1, more than 125,000 of you have donated $4 million. In addition, we’ve received major gifts and foundation support totaling $2 million. This combined revenue will cover our operating expenses for the current fiscal year, ending June 30, 2009.
You can still get involved:
Any donations beyond our $6 million goal are put in a reserve fund, which will help us to offset operating costs beyond the current fiscal year. Your continued support will also serve as a much-needed financial safety net if economic conditions continue to worsen globally.
