Viesturs,  asking Yishin to give us a ballpark budget estimate was 
implied, but I offered a donation as a incentive to get other people to 
show a willingness for micro donation support -- and THANK YOU Viesturs 
for stepping up ;-)  That being said $150 might be a full percent of 
what he would need.  It might also be less that 0.1% of what he needs.  
Either way we already have a start, and we have let him know that people 
are willing to chip in a little here and there to make this happen.

BTW, if no big money stands up and says "I'll show you the money," then 
maybe we could write a letter of support to kickstarter to see if they 
would accept managing this as a project with Yishin.  .  This is only 
one idea, but something like that would allow a much larger, general 
public audience, manage collecting and distributing the funds, etc.
