Re: DConf 2013 on kickstarter.com: we're live!
There is a serious reason of getting through some registration issues and pledging via kickstarter - project either gets all money if it is funded or no at all if it is not (and all pledges are returned automatically). And, of course, any other means of supporting won't be counted by kickstarter towards target sum.

When the process then required *also* to create an Amazon account I stopped. :( Can I send a check or pay by PayPal? Thanks, Ali

It would be more complicated to refund checks etc. Andrei

I'll look forward to the results of the kickstarter.

I've also just added a Facebook ad, see it demoed here: http://goo.gl/NrEis Thanks to all who've contributed, and all others please consider doing so. This is a great time to add material support to our passion for this project, and to make sure D grows and becomes increasingly significant. Andrei
