Give a bug a hug

[Keith Martin]

I'm less than convinced by the crowdfunding ideas that have been 
mentioned so far. But there is something that is important to 
understand:

1. All Kickstarter campaigns are 'all-or-nothing.' From the Kickstarter 
FAQ: "No one will be charged for a pledge towards a project unless it 
reaches its funding goal."

2. Indiegogo campaigns are EITHER 'flexible funding' (the money is taken 
whether or not the goal was reached) OR 'fixed funding' (the same as 
Kickstarter).

Whether or not a crowdfunding angle is a good idea is a different issue. 
I just wanted to clarify the point about campaign goals and funding 
levels.
