Preview: KickStarter for Linked Data and Web Payments

Hi all,

As some of you know, W3C participated in the Google Summer of Code this
year. We had 40 student project proposals submitted, of which 8 of them
were really good. Unfortunately, Google doesn't have enough student
slots allocated to W3C to accept all 8 students.

So, Digital Bazaar has taken the initiative to do a KickStarter project
to raise funds for the remaining 4 students. It'll be a very short
funding drive, so I'm sharing this link with this mailing list so that
many of you can be prepared to fund/share the link to this project when
the time comes. These students will be creating tools to help web
developers publish using JSON-LD, RDFa, and Web Payments technologies.

THIS IS A PREVIEW LINK, DO NOT DISTRIBUTE IT YET:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/manusporny/701481070?token=dc84e5a5

The project has been submitted for approval by KickStarter, it should be
approved/denied by next week. If it's denied, we'll use CrowdTilt to
fund the project.

Feedback/suggestions on the content of the page would be great.
