In a rush and have only glanced at it but it looks promising, thoughts?

I know two people who used this to obtain funding
One was successful, the other wasn't (but that's life--her "project" simply didn't inspire interest or confidence).
I'm ALL for any funding system where participation is voluntary rather than compulsory.
