I was hung reading this page and look interesting (not only to Pharo)
else a lot of other open projects we do with Pharo.

Personally I never tried this type of collection of money, but my
suspicion is that to work you need a critical mass of users, including
businesses

This is two-way road. And this is what Stephane trying to do from his
side: enabling people to support Pharo in other ways than just
coding/bugfixing :).

Yes let us create it.
I imagine that people would love to have a vm that is actively developed and not only by two guys
that can have truck factor effect. No?

I think that I would like to be able to say to people:
invest on us because we are building a system that will survive us.

Surviving us:
- clean robust documented.....
- easy to build....

and to my ears this looks like properties I like

*g*

I was always annoyed by this Wikipedia banner as it just used up almost half of my browser window.

And I don't think I need to be on such a banner either.

Cheers,
Adrian
