View source for SyncStarter

The current status of all outstanding proposals can be viewed here: http://bit.ly/SyncStarter This should be publicly viewable by anyone. Editable by Prescott Ogden. Proposals will be sorted by percent funded.

* To propose a particular tool/item/grant, simply post to the mailing list with SyncStarter somewhere in the title. 

* Your post should include:
** The name of the item
** A description
** A supplier
** A quote
** Why you think we should should spend donations and membership dues on this item. 

* This thread is where we talk about if this is a good idea, do we have the power, the space, who will be responsible for maintaining the machine, viable alternatives, and other details.

* To pledge money, announce this in the thread and/or email Prescott off-list. If you wish to donate anonymously toward the general SyncStarter matching fund or pledge toward a particular proposal, contact Prescott privately. Prescott reserves the right to make anonymous backers pay up front.

* Named backers can withdraw pledges at any time, anonymous backers should  work out the details with Prescott in advance (recommended course of action is to place a deadline on a pledge).

* It still needs to be decided how much money we would like to throw at this per month. That is a separate discussion.
