 In the discussion on 30c3, the idea of a crowdfunding campaign came up.

 Such a campaign would work on getting funding for a specific new Feature
 for the Tor Project, be it a new website, specific enhancements to the TBB
 or Tor, or other things.

 It would require:

 1. People to organize it
 2. A specific goal (and comprehensible description of the relevance of
 that goal) and a price tag for that goal
 3. Pledge tiers (Stickers, Shirts, ...?)
 4. ...?

 An example for what a basic crowdfunding could look like would be the
 GnuPG crowdfunding drive: http://goteo.org/project/gnupg-new-website-and-
 infrastructure

 I would propose to use this ticket for discussion on the topic, and, once
 a consensus has been reached, to create new tickets for the individual
 tasks associated with a crowdfunding drive.
