I'll share my impressions since you asked: * Give $10 or $250 - no options in-between * No T-shirts, no stickers * 6 months shared SSH-access for 250$? * Absurd amount of information to digest in every update (even for me) Setting up a smaller goal, usable rewards and easier-to-digest updates would have helped a lot. Now this only looks like another failed out-of-touch-with-reality project. As it is, I didn't even contribute $10 as I had the distinct impression the project would fail. How can I ever advocate this? I have given / donated generously to many Free software projects and organizations (including the FSF) and have often convinced others to do so (even refering new people to join http://www.fsf.org/associate/referrers/referrerlist ) but honestly Talos was outside of anything I could refer, in any way.
