I am crossing my fingers that this comes to pass.
In the meantime, if we want to look at guerilla ways to fund raise, maybe we
can take a page out of Creative Commons' playbook and use Revver. Create a
few short videos about the Wikipedia cause, Revverize them, and shoot them
into the webosphere. We could place links to the videos on Wikipedia.
Any thoughts?

Liberatory 100M.
A lot of good ideas of stuff we want were collected. There is no
further news at this time, but remember... this is not about a donation,
but someone trying to think of sustainable business models around doing
content liberation in conjunction with Wikipedia... it is one thing to
imagine someone deciding to donate that much money to the movement, but
another thing altogether to think about someone doing something
sustainable (i.e. where they can recoup their investment).
Again, to be clear, this has nothing to do with AOL or Jason Calacanis'
idea of slapping banner ads on Wikipedia.
This might not be a bad time for people to start mulling that over... :)
