We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funding Needs and Details Added to Project Description

Update #1 · Sep 14, 2010 · comment

Thanks for your patience as I navigate my first Kickstarter Project!

Since I am also working on finishing the writing of the project, the refinement of this project page on Kickstarter is happening piecemeal.

I have updated the actual funding needs of the project at the beginning of the project description and added the information about the Release Event into the Project graphic, which is pretty dense at this point so that may need modification later in the week, too.

Thanks to Beth Custer for introducing me to Kickstarter and to Patti Meyer for her helpful suggestions.
