Re: GNUstep Kickstarter Project

[James Carthew]

Good idea, but I think some more planning should be added to this. Usually when kickstarters succeed they have stretch goals and very clear presentation of what's currently available, and what will be available after the project succeeds.. You're going to need a lot more media on that page. My advice would be to throw up screenshots of gnustep applications running on gnustep and OSX, show a lot of comparisons between the apis, show people what you're planning to create/work on. Saying fund my idea, here's the idea isn't enough with Kickstarter. You have to really sell the idea you want made. Sell a vision. Outline clear goals. Say at $100,000 Vespucci/Webkit will be completed, at $150,000 System Preferences.app will support networking, X, and audio configuration etc. Clear goals that show people what they will get out of it. At least put some videos of gnustep apps on linux and gnustep apps under osx on there.

Updated, I added a $2 fee to cover shipping outside the US only because I suspect it will be a little more expensive.

Hey guys, I've launched a kickstarter project in the hopes of getting some time to work exclusively on GNUstep in order to try to address some of the issues we have surrounding API completeness, documentation issues, etc..., here it is:

Cool.

But why ship only within US?

I think it is not a problem to get someone to copy CDs inside the EU or e.g. Australia and ship them out at low cost as a letter to save postage.
