Posted project update #2OERT.ORG is ours! And how else will we spend our funding...
Post CommentOERT.ORG is now ours!
I would like to be more precise about how we will spend the Kickstarter funding.
Technology
The concrete project expenses are those required to make a high quality publication:
- Domain Registration (done!)
- Web hosting
- Web development
- Web design
- Web maintenance
We will try to minimize these expenses as much as possible. Can you help our project by providing these services to us directly? Please email me, Pablo, at pc@catedracosgaya.com.ar and let our team know!
Content Development
The bulk of the funding will be spent on allowing our experts to take time away from freelance work (but not teaching!)
They will be spending many hours required to make this project worthwhile. Funds are also required for professional translation - Google Translate is not enough :-)
- Getting permission from original authors of all 26 booklets we use about the Theory of Type Design and Typography (done!)
- Paying experts for their time to edit the text in Spanish (in process)
- Paying professional illustration designers to create illustrations to aid understanding of this highly visual subject (in process)
- Contacting potential contributors who are specialists in Typography and Type Design to participate in our project (in process)
- Paying professional translators to translate the Spanish text into English (we require funding to start!)
Many of these activities have started already in our team's spare time.
Please help us to spread the word about our project.
