Raising time
筹资时刻到了
But raising cash to keep Wikipedia running is an easier task than getting people to donatetime. Month-on-month article growth in the English Wikipedia was as high as 5% in 2006 buthas stayed stubbornly at 1% for the past two years. Worse, Wikipedia fears that withoutremedial steps, the number of active editors will decline to below 80,000 by the middle of nextyear .
不过,比起让人们奉献时间来编辑百科,让人们捐钱以维持其运行比更容易。2006年,英语维基百科文章月环比增长为5%。但过去的两年里,这一数据却一直保持在1%。更糟的是,维基百科担心如果没有纠正环节,到明年年中,活跃编辑的数量将下降到80000。
