If you're getting millions of hits per week, you might want to consider doing something to monetize the open source project...

No, sorry, not millions a week. It was a thousand or so a week. What I meant, is that those thousands add up to a more impressive number. The numbers have dropped off over the years.

That's what I was thinking. Find something 1 in 1000 would pay a dollar for and you're golden.

1,000,000 / 1,000 = $1,000. Hardly golden. Still, I take your point, with a million eyeballs you don't have to monetize much to make a pretty penny.
