I agree. For a decade Wikipedia has squandered it's substantial income on frivolous outreach and community projects when they should have been building up a large endowment so that they could be financially independent. They could have amassed a billion dollars by now and not need any donation begging at all.

The fact that they have a couple of hundred million at least is a great thing. (Firing developers isn't of course.)
