Hello TiddlyWorld Kickstarter, apart from only accepting US based projects, also has a policy on the nature of the projects it allows on its platforms. The projects have to be "creative." I was not aware of this when I wrote the plan, and presented it as a documentation project. I can see how this might appear to be non-creative, but there is a widely held view that creativity can thrive in almost any context.
Bauwe, Mario and I had a text Skype chat on monday. I propose that we do it again next monday. Anyone else interested, i guess, is welcome to join (providing Mario and Bauwe have no objections (and if the are up for the idea in the first place)) Alex On 16 January 2012 10:08, Alex Hough <r.a.ho...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Jeremy, > > The link doesn't work for me now ;) I'll investigate....
