Thanks for the reply, but "your defined monthly budget" is absolutely not going to work. It's FAR FAR better for people to say "site-wide budget? How does that work?" than to have the WRONG idea "oh, I get to set a cap for how much I give to each project". We are NOT offering people to cap each project, we are giving them ONE overall site-wide (or system-wide, there are other wordings for these things) budget. If the total of *all* their pledges goes past their limit, then the project that grew will be dropped until they decide to drop others instead or to change their budget limit. We don't have time to explain that, but we don't want anyone to have the wrong idea that you can have a per-project budget.
