I think that the change is not here yet, but it is coming.<br /><br />$100M is a lot of money, perhaps a probably sum for the next future years, but I think that the most valuable resource in Wikipedia are the volunteers.<br /><br />I don't know if you can write an encyclopedia like Wikipedia with a budget of $100M, but it is sure that it can be written with volunteers effort.
