通過PayPal向Wikipedia捐款$100

　　剛通過PayPal向Wikipedia捐款$100，這是我連續第4年向維基百科捐款了，隻是因為支持維基百科倡導的知識分享理念，希望這種帶有理想主義色彩的網站能永續發展。現在國内物價飛漲，美元貶值，100美元隻能請幾個人吃餐飯，不如為大衆提供點精神食糧，捐的人多了自然力量就大。

　　補充：從去年底開始我們已經沒有使用Wikipedia所用的MediaWiki軟件來搭建新網站了，後來改用Drupal平台，不過對Wikipedia的支持不會改變。今年以來我們網站的AdSense收入連創新高，又通過PayPal收了一些國外購買名錄數據的錢，捐點款還是很方便的。

　　附來自維基基金會的感謝郵件：

Dear JINGSONG,

Thank you for your gift of USD 100.00 to the Wikimedia Foundation, received on 2011-11-14. I’m very grateful for your support.

Your donation celebrates everything Wikipedia stands for: the power of information to help people live better lives, and the importance of sharing, freedom, learning and discovery. Thank you so much for helping to keep Wikipedia freely available for its 364 million readers around the world.

These funds support technology and people. The Wikimedia Foundation develops and improves the technology behind Wikipedia, and sustains the infrastructure that keeps it up and running. The foundation has a staff of less then a hundred, which provides technical, administrative, legal and outreach support for the global community of volunteers who write and edit Wikipedia.

Many people love Wikipedia, but a surprising number don't know it's run by a non-profit. Please help us spread the word by telling a few of your friends.

And again, thank you for supporting free knowledge.

Sincerely Yours,

Sue Gardner
Executive Director
