something_that_we_could_do
I've realised the folks who take the time to run this project are working extremely hard. When I visit wikipedia.org without cookies and cache cleaned, I see the yellow message* about how they are a 150 strong team working full-time on the project.I then realise that there are also thousands of dedicated people also working for this project. I then wonder what I can do ? If it was permissible I'd like to add a bit of money to help pay the infrastructure. As it stands, all I feel I can do is log in and show a minimum of support by the fact I'm registered with the site and although I don't login often, I visit Wikipedia.org almost everyday. I'd like to be able to take the time to add a definition into the Æncylopedia. That takes a lot of effort, checking the validity of what one is attempting to share. Trying to add something that is truly beneficial to the database. But w.o has allowed me to edit other user's input. It has been "trusted" in me to be able to add an input which expounds the entry. I added fresh links to what I considered relevant documents. The "trust" I feel w.o practices is not due to levels of infrastructure, but because this whole project is one of knowledge. They/we hope that the people who enter information do so for the sheer pleasure of documenting information in order to allow the end user to have the information to decide for themselves.

What I feel that w.o misses is a user forum section to allow outsiders and insiders the place to communicate.

I realize that this costs time and money, but I'm certain that it would be beneficial to the whole community. We need 'wiki savvi' people to be able to talk directly with "Joe Blogs".

 * script when logging in gets rid of the message. I'd like to be able to access/respond to the message once I'm logged in. Perhaps in a user panel block.
