$100 Million Dream

According to tech news website, Slashdot, Wikipedia Co-Founder Jimmy Wales is asking the Wikipedia user base to suggest uses for $100 million, which the Co-Founder says could be used to benefit the site. The cool part is, he's leaning towards buying copyrights for content and posting it for free on Wikipedia. Imagine, if you will, that Wikipedia buys the rights to use the New York Times news archive, or buys the rights to use all the definitions in Oxford's OED. It all depends, but that would be exciting. First, it would be great for research, and secondly it would give that great information to everyone without cost.
