Seeing how much we raised for DConf last year through

hiring a team of developers to work full-time on D?
Even as a student, I'd be happy to throw money at D, if someone
could give me a good reason to. I really want to see D succeed.
I'm just not rich enough to be putting $20 bounties up on
(multiple) individual bugs.
I like the idea of a Kickstarter, if it could be done
effectively. It would need some planning out.
