Hoi,
What does make you say that?
When you read the stuff well, Wikia has been provided capital to
expand its operation. There is no money from the Wikimedia Foundation
involved. People have a day job you know..
Thanks,
GerardM

FYI,
Wikia taps eBay exec as CEO
San Francisco Business Times - 2:41 PM PDT Monday
Wikia Inc., a for-profit company founded 18 months ago by Wikipedia
founder Jimmy Wales, hired Gil Penchina as its CEO on Monday.
Penchina was vice president and general manager at eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY).
Penchina was *a* vice president of eBay. eBay is one of these companies
with
lots of division presidents, senior vice presidents and vice presidents.

It's disturbing to think how much money donated to the charity Wikimedia is
used for running commercial organisation Wikia...

"I *do* think criticism is good for Wikipedia [...] Good quality criticism
is valuable, and Wikipedians should listen to it, and actually make changes
based on it. Are there corrupt administrators, then we should get rid of
them." --Jimmy Wales (
