I have donated in the past, but then there were wild accusations, people saying it’s not needed, it’s to fund other things, and so on and so forth.

Yesterday I got the popup begging for a couple of euros, so what’s the status? Should I donate or is it a waste of time and money?

Cheers

Edit: Thanks for all the insightful posts! I’m jobless at the moment so just ten bucks this time:

    there is no justification for paying a manager five to ten times as much as an engineer

    The justification is, the market is competitive. If you want someone with the right skills, you need to provide them similar benefits to what they could receive elsewhere.

    Suppose you only paid CEO’s and other management the same rate as engineers. Do you think wikipedia’s performance would be equal to what it presently is ?
