I think that Wikipedia just doesn't need that much money. If people just let them fail their fundraising goals, the core service will likely continue to get the same budget, but they'll cut their pet projects and parties.
- h_anna_h 6y agoSadly this is not what happened with Mozilla.
- mikepurvis 6y agoIsn't it? Mozilla has cut or spun-off basically everything other than Firefox.
- Macha 6y agoThe most prominent project on mozilla.org at time of writing is Mozilla VPN. Pocket also gets substantial screen space dedicated: https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/
- mikepurvis 6y agoFair, though I would argue that those services are much more closely tied to the core experience of Firefox (and in particular the promise of safer, more private internet access) than something like Sunbird ever was.
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoPocket generates revenue for Mozilla.
- sudosysgen 6y agoPocket and Mozilla VPN are prominent because they drive revenue which is useful to limit dependency on Google, thus greatly helping Firefox.

- 93po 6y agoI tried contributing and there are so many entrenched "don't touch my stuff" senior editors or moderators that it's often hard to do much of anything depending on where you are. I gave up after spending 40+ hours attempting to help clean up little known articles of a genre of music only to have 90% of what I did get reversed even though I am very confident it was within wikipedia guidelines. I was also harassed and accused of racism (by the subject of the article) after nominating his article for deletion because it didn't meet notability requirements.
