Kickstarter has a funny dynamic to it. I'm not sure I really understand what motivates people to back projects. This doesn't sound like a bad idea. There seems to be room for several CMS companies and the good ones do well.

I'm surprised that people will kick in donations to fund what is essentially a company.

I wonder if local brick and morter businesses could raise on kickstarter.
