Let's get a pool going -- when will the WMF audited financial statement for fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, actually be posted to the public by the WMF?

Everyone who makes a pick is honor-bound to wager a $5 sum. The person who comes closest (over or under) to the actual date and time of the first public release will win all wagers. The winner will then name a registered and recognized non-profit charity of their choice, and all participants will be honor-bound to apply their $5 as a donation to that charity, in the name of "Mimbo Jimbo's Irresponsible Wikimedia Foundation Audit Contest".

That should raise some eyebrows at the recipient non-profit, don't you think? "Hey, Lucille, what are all these $5 PayPal donations from this 'Mimbo Jimbo' group about?"

My prediction (and my $5 pledge) are riding on: January 21, 2008; 17:11 UTC (Greenwich mean time)

Cumulative pledges = $5. (each subsequent pool participant should update this total)

Good luck and good wagering!

P.S. The auditing firm of Gregory, Sharer & Stuart boasts a motto of: Right Answers. Right Now. I guess they've failed on at least one of those brand promises already.
