Wikipedia is facing serious financial crunch this 2007, Florence Devouard, chairwoman of the Wikimedia Foundation at Lift07 conference said that Wikipedia has financial recourses to run their servers for the next three – four months and without further funding, Wikipedia might “disappearâ€Â.
It’s hard to believe that Wikipedia is running out of money. This might just be donation propaganda by Florence. Even if this was true, the possibility of Wikipedia coming to an end is very small because the site is worth few billions (at least), Google, Yahoo or Microsoft might acquire Wikipedia.
Wikipedia had made a pledge to remain free of advertising and sponsorships, this would soon be put under test bed.
