Wikimedia has received a $US500,000 donation, hot on the heels of a $US3 million grant from the Sloan Foundation.

This time, the donors are Vinod and Neeru Khosla.

"We are thrilled and very grateful," said executive director Sue Gardner. "Vinod and Neeru share the Wikimedia Foundation's vision: a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge."

Neeru Khosia is the co-founder and chair of CK12, a non-profit organisation
supporting the worldwide creation of collaborative, open-source textbooks.

"Vinod and I are proud to help Wikipedia, a valuable global educational resource," said Khosla.

Wikimedia's plans include the distribution of material from Wikipedia in book form.
