So, what signal does this send? For me, nothing
very positive about the
organisation. Setting a price below a typical cinema ticket isn't really
a claim on anyone's respect.
The idea is that members join to support us with their time, their
ideas, their moral support, etc. People that want to support us
financially do so by donating.
The logic of soliciting donations is always that if there is more money,
more can be done. Money doesn't make the world of the WMF go round, but
in the real world money tends to be given to those who show they know
the value of it.
