I’ll say again: Don’t “think small”. Any real conflicts will not be about $6,000 in hosting or office space, or even on which account somebody put a plane trip. The benefits at issue are harder to delinate but far more valuable.

Some conspiracy theorists are speculating that travel expenses related to the for-profit Wikia (which Wales founded) were being reimbursed by Wikimedia Foundation. The people has this perception for almost all the foundations.

http://www.watersupplypollutioncontrol.info/ First, we have never shared employees per se. I mean, I am an employee of Wikia, but I am not an employee of Wikimedia. I am an unpaid board member, like all of us are.

@Jimmy

“The Organization shares hosting and bandwidth costs with Wikia, Inc., a for-profit company founded by the same founder as Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. Included in accounts receivable at June 30, 2007 is $6,000 due from Wikia, Inc. for these costs. ”

Mike was quoting from your own accounts document so the clarity needs to be put in your own document really. But then I suppose thats what happens when you release your accounts 8 months late ;-).

I just wanted to point out, too, that Wikia and Wikimedia do not “share some infrastructure costs, assets, employees and expenses” any longer.

First, we have never shared employees per se. I mean, I am an employee of Wikia, but I am not an employee of Wikimedia. I am an unpaid board member, like all of us are. Volunteers.

We also don’t share any infrastructure costs, assets, or expenses. For a while Wikia donated office space to the Wikimedia Foundation, but that ended some time ago.

Can TechCrunch please disable links in comments? It’s easy to do. Otherwise, I see this site becoming a testbed for Guerilla PR.

I’ve tracking who’s involved with WF. For those interested take a quick look in this ManagedQ search: http://www.managedq.com/search.....foundation Should be interesting to see how large this project gets in the coming years.
