Greeting TiddlyFriends! I'm pleased to report that, as of December 30th, 2014, the "Inside TiddlyWiki" IndieGoGo campaign has so far raised a total of $2095 from 35 individual contributors, and has been visited over 1200 times by people from 50 different countries. Here is a list of the countries, with the contribution from each country shown in parentheses: ----------------------------- France ($620), Canada ($560), Australia ($130), United States ($120), Ireland ($100), Mexico ($100), Netherlands ($75), Germany ($70), United Kingdom ($60), Spain ($60), Switzerland ($60), Russia ($60),Norway ($40), Denmark ($10), Sweden ($10), Portugal ($10), Belgium ($10), Italy, India, Taiwan, Bulgaria, Austria, Brazil, Romania, Japan, South Africa, Philippines, Israel, Slovakia, Albania, Montenegro, Singapore, Latvia, Azerbaijan, Czech Republic, Finland, Kazakhstan, Poland, New Zealand, Indonesia, Slovenia, Thailand, Belarus, Argentina, Ukraine, Greece, Nepal, Korea, Pakistan, Macau -----------------------------
Unfortunately, despite this apparent broad international interest in the book project, as well as the generous contributions to date, the campaign has so far raised just 28% of the total $7500 funding goal, and the current fundraising campaign ENDS ON JANUARY 15TH, 2015, which is slightly more than two weeks from now. Of course, I intend to work on writing "Inside TiddlyWiki" regardless of the final level of funding achieved by the IndieGoGo campaign. However, without sufficient funding, my writing efforts will be necessarily intermittent at best, as I will need to keep my primary focus on other revenue-producing client work activities to cover my regular monthly operating expenses. In order to ensure that I can devote my undivided attention to writing, what is needed RIGHT NOW is a strong push to reach at least the 50% funding mark (i.e., $3750) as quicly as possible, and then hopefully keep up the momentum to reach 100% funding (or close to it) by the end of the campaign. To help encourage immediate additional contributions, I am offering a special, limited-time AUTOMATIC UPGRADE FOR THE $10 AND $100 PERKS. In celebration of the 2015 New Year, the following upgraded perks will be available for all new contributions made this week (through Sunday, January 4th): ALL CONTRIBUTIONS OF $10 OR MORE WILL RECEIVE THE $50 "FRIEND" PERK: * access to the "Inside TiddlyWiki" discussion group, where you can review early drafts of book content * listed in the book credits as a "Friend of Inside TiddlyWiki" ALL CONTRIBUTIONS OF $100 OR MORE WILL RECEIVE THE $500 "PARTNER" PERK: * access to the "Inside TiddlyWiki" discussion group, where you can review early drafts of book content * listed in the book credits as a "Partner of Inside TiddlyWiki" * an autographed, "first edition" PRINTED COPY OF THE FINAL PUBLISHED BOOK * 4 hours credit toward private TiddlyWiki consulting services So... if you haven't contributed already, NOW is the time to visit the campaign page and make your donation TODAY: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/inside-tiddlywiki-the-missing-manual/x/8816263 enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios "Inside TiddlyWiki: The Missing Manual" Professional TiddlyWiki Consulting Services...
