[vtkusers] Vtk 6.0 dotnet

[David Gobbi]

I'll throw in my two cents here, not specifically about ActiViz but
about Kickstarter in general.

The average pledge amount is $70, with most backers giving $25 and a
few especially generous backers giving much more.  So a $10000 project
should only require around 150 backers.  That's not a huge number,
considering that the VTK community has well over 10x that many
members.  So the questions are 1) how to reach the community, since
most community members don't read the vtkusers list on a regular basis,
and 2) what kind of VTK Kickstarter projects would get widespread
participation.

I suspect that VTK book projects would find a lot of backers, and most
people would be satisfied with a pdf rather than a hardcopy.
