To be fair, i've never asked for financial contributions from anyone, and perhaps that's something i should do. Perhaps a banner ad with my sad face ala wikipedia. I've got a small team of developers with experience doing web and systems apps in lisp, and we could be convinced to work for peanuts given the glory involved ;). In all seriousness, i think it's time i ask the community for some help before i get (more) jaded and apathetic.
