Without the support from people like you, Wikipedia and the other [[Our projects|Wikimedia projects]] would not exist.
You can learn more about what's going on by reading our quarterly newsletter, the [[Wikimedia Quarto]]. Our coordination project, [[m:Main Page|Meta-Wiki]], also tracks project news and events at [[m:Wikimedia News|Wikimedia News]] and [[m:Goings-on|Goings-on]]. Please [[contact us]] if you have any questions.
==Other ways you can help==
===Buy Wikipedia/Wikimedia merchandise===

===Support freenode===
The people who run the Wikimedia Foundation and those who maintain our servers and the MediaWiki software heavily use [[w:en:Internet Relay Chat|Internet Relay Chat]] (IRC) to communicate. The particular service we use is called freenode. Their parent organization, Peer-Directed Projects Center, is currently having its annual fund drive. See http://freenode.net/fundraiser.shtml for details.
