I would definitely give money for this, as long as there was some return on
my investment, as I have neither the experience nor the geographical
advantage to acquire things as successfully as others on the list.

Keeping track of the finances would be tricky. Someone will have to manage
the money, and they will be met with varying amounts of distrust by those
who would donate. Maybe a good thing would be to either form a nonprofit or
get one to assimilate us.

And it would need a cool name. :-)

Thoughts?
