I'll look into what Cocotron and GNUStep have done before actually
launching my KickStarter Project.
Just about their very first requirement is to state one's funding goal
and time deadline. I just took a wild guess and specified thirty
days, and twenty thousand dollars.
That might sound like a really high hourly rate for just one month's
work, but I would have to work almost 24/7 to pull it off.
