Subject: [imp] Fundraising: IMP Multiple Accounts Feature
To: d...@lists.horde.org, imp@lists.horde.orgAll,Recently on the IMP mailing list, several individuals have identified the desire for an ability to access multiple accounts from within a single Horde/IMP session. I reported that this has been on the IMP TODO list for sometime, but would be a complex and time-consuming undertaking and one that would need to be funded in order to occur.There was positive feedback about going the crowdfunding route, so it has been decided to attempt this method to see if it can succeed. Not to mention, this is an interesting social experiment regarding this new method of driving innovation at an open source software level.The fundraiser page can be found here: http://tilt.tc/Evs2 Important note: NOBODY is charged unless the full funding level is reached.(Side note: I initially was going to use bountysource as the host, but they charge 10% regardless of whether the project reaches its goal or not. In other words, if the goal is not reached everyone who pledged would receive a refund minus 10%. Obviously I am hopeful that this won't be an issue since we will be successfully funded, but it is entirely unacceptable to charge people for nothing in case this doesn't happen -- thus the move to Crowdtilt, which only charges if successful.)Thanks everyone, michael
