[Marketing] [Sugar-devel] Smart way to get $$ for posting videos on youtube

[Sam Parkinson]

Hi Samson,

Last time I checked, Wikipedia was proudly add free (and asking for 
donations to stay that way).

I don't think we should put ads on our wiki.  I believe that we have 
the hosting of the wiki funded/donated.  And the adds can look very 
trashy and unprofessional - no other serious projects have them.

Maybe we can get away with youtube ads, given that people might blame 
it on youtube.  But is it worth doing it?  Isn't the revenue around 
$0.40/1000 views?  Do we even have 1000 views?  Is that worth the 
effect hosting ads has on our image?

Thanks,
Sam
