I'd like to keep requests for money away from the front page. When I'm surfing, I wanna read or see or listen or mixes of all of 'em... It's only if I'm drawn into a site that I then get a sense of moving...inside...
But I know things have to be paid for. So, I'd suggest going back over Migeru's well-thought-out plan of action re: the ET LLP, and your project can be number one in the list of things ET can finance.
I really, really like Colman's idea:
Maybe it's because I grew up on TV without adverts--I just don't like people asking for money...in the middle of something else. I prefer a licence-fee system, but due to the open nature of the site there will be some who pay for others to appreciate, sorta like here in the UK, where we pay for the BBC, but the whole world can watch... Don't fight forces, use them R. Buckminster Fuller.
