[Wikipedia-l] Dream a little...

Hi folks,

* I'd like to see Wikipedia commission or acquire a complete set of
world maps in SVG (this almost certainly falls under more general
ideas already covered, but this is one specific detail I'd really like
to see).

* Build or formalize a reliable peer-to-peer payment system to fund
smaller Wikipedias. I recall a considerable amount of support around
the concept of funding the smaller Wikipedias in a previous thread,
but IIRC the conversation ended at "how would it be accomplished?" So,
I suggest that investing in infrastructure to make this happen would
be a good move. It would be a huge amount of work: negotiating
international tax law, figuring out reliable payment method,
preventing fraud, determining what institutions wouuld be involved,
how people apply, how positions are advertised, blah blah blah.

But you did say think big ☺
