I saw this via the Melbourne hardware startups group ( melbourne-hardware-startups-mee...@googlegroups.com) and figured it should be of interest to many here too:
*Kickstarter is now available in Aus and NZ*. ( http://www.kickstarter.com/blog/kickstarter-in-australia-and-new-zealand) Couple of points worth mentioning: pledges are in AUD, but backers can be international; fees are the usual 5% success + 5% conversion and 5c flat on <$10 pledges, or 3% and 20c flat on >=$10 pledges. *Will there be Australia- and New Zealand-specific Kickstarter sites?* Nope. Australia- and New Zealand-based projects will be listed alongside all the other Kickstarter projects. *Can people outside Australia and New Zealand pledge to projects based in those countries?* Yes! Just as with every other project on Kickstarter, backers can pledge to Australia- and New Zealand-based projects from all around the world. There is a series of workshops around Aus/NZ planned for late October too.
