Charity Navigator puts the WMF at the tippy top of a short list of non-profits whose revenues are expanding at the fastest rate (over 3 years).

Where is the 2009 Fundraising Survey, headed by Rand Montoya?

Where is the Flagged Revisions trial, promised since 2007?

Why did rental checks go to the commercial enterprise co-founded by the Emeritus Chair of the Foundation?

Why is Omidyar Network given a seat on the Board of Trustees, when it's known that they also invest money in the commercial enterprise of the Emeritus Chair?

Horsey, are you getting all this? The way WMF and Wikia are intertwined would
also make a great chapter, given that it probably violates a long list of federal laws.

Any decent investigative journalist would love such
minor little factoids. Like waving bacon in front of a dog. hrmph.gif
