>>  I have three suggestions, based on our experiences. First, ask for more
>> money. Novacut took away $28k with 800 supporters. You really can only do
>> this thing once in a blue moon and so why not go for broke? Second, people
>> will want something new, better, faster. If your main pitch is refactoring,
>> I'm afraid your request may fall on deaf ears. If you offer some new and
>> interesting features, that will play better. Finally, be sure to offer some
>> larger dollar sponsorship levels targeted at businesses, 1k, 2k, 5k,10k.
>> You can't get what you don't ask for.
