Hiring editors

Very true. We can only pay for special efforts (like outreach), not for something which is/can be done in numbers (editing). Competitions and awards might be better a use of money than wages. For example giving an award (partner with Creative Commons?) for yearly most valuable institutional contribution to expanding free content (like Bundesarchiv donation). We should build up these random acts of kindness in the media. WMF should ask for more, but also be willing to reward (share our brand goodwill) those who give - not only money, also multimedia/databases... We need a competitive drives not only for cash, but images etc. --Ras 10:54, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
