Uh, c'est dommage! I can't believe I missed it! What can I do to support?
As an art lover and a believer in enabling tech, I applaud you and am happy to support the project. If you have videos which you can share that could be seen on smartphones, let me know as I am in that business.
I am really glad for you!! I love your initiative.
Congratulations!
Huge thanks to all of our amazing contributors. Your dedication, support and excitement has meant the world to us. Kickstarter has shown us that there is a real community of support for our work and for Open Education in general. This is enormously gratifying. Thank you. We feel honored and very lucky. But you'll have to excuse us, we have some work to do now, something about making 100 new videos...
Congrats on making the goal! I'm happy to be a part of this project!
I just know this project is going to soar beyond our wildest imaginings.
