[MlMt] Crowd funding campaign launched

[Benny Kjær Nielsen]

Hi MailMate users,

given my (embarrassing) empty emails earlier today then most of you have 
probably guessed that I have launched the previously announced crowd 
funding campaign at [indiegogo.com](http://igg.me/at/mailmate).

The following is what I tried to send to the contributors to the earlier 
crowd funding experiment:

> A few weeks ago I launched a crowd funding experiment and you were 
> among the 145 people who sent me a contribution email. First, if I 
> haven't already done so then I would like to thank you for the show of 
> support!
>
> I already wrote about the results of the experiment. The conclusion 
> was that it is worth a shot to launch a campaign on a real crowd 
> funding site.
>
> Compared to the crowd funding experiment I've changed a few things. 
> The goal is now to fund the time needed to finish version 2.0 of 
> MailMate. This requires a minimum of 6 months of 2014 and therefore 
> I've set the initial fixed goal to $25,000. A fixed goal means that I 
> get nothing if the goal is not reached. Anything beyond $25,000 
> increases the period I am guaranteed to work full time on MailMate. 
> The exact period depends on the regular daily sales, but an estimate 
> based on 2013 is an additional month for every $5,000.

That last link was wrong. It should have been: 
<http://igg.me/at/mailmate>

Right now the campaign is at $3,197 out of $25,000. That's a bit more 
than 1/8th of the goal just a few hours into the campaign. Thanks to 
everyone
