Yes, I've got about 20 emails suggesting Kickstarter campaign, not to
count requests via IRC.
So, it's indeed a good chance, I'll discuss it with our team, however I
wanted to save it for a better breakthrough, after we've gained
experience with existing donations and showed people how good it works
in reality, not just promises.
WBR,
Aleksey.

Radical idea: Start a kickstarter to "bring ReactOS into beta",
needing a certain amount. That could get us a lot more publicity and
money.

From the bright side, it's not that simple to raise almost 5k
euros within a few weeks.
What's important is that there is absolutely no need to wait till
magical figure of 30k to start hiring devs for contracts. We are
already working on preparing devs contracts and as soon as we
settle things down and agree on specific contract/developer tasks
we proceed and implement them.
Yes, ReactOS needs it indeed! :)

Hello,
I can see donations have slowed down too much.... so, reaching
30,000 EUR goal seems ... quite impossible at the short-term...
So, i wanted to ask... what about hiring devs for months? i
know its a short period of time, but i feel ReactOS needs it (
and them, also, speaking about devs) asap :)
