Part of me wishes that Wikipedia would do this, rather than having to ask for money every year. It's not likely appropriate for mobile devices (eating battery life, limiting performance), but for desktop users, I think this is an interesting option. Having it pop up and ask the user? Not cool. Having users opt-in because they like the site? Definitely more appropriate.
