In order to reach more potential supporters, especially outside the Maemo and N900 community, running a "traditional" crowdfunding campaign has been suggested for a long time.

I have prepared a brief document that discusses some of the aspects of such a campaign. The focus is mainly on technical issues, but also touches on marketing considerations.

The paper:

This specific version (there will probably be updates):
http://neo900.org/stuff/marketing/cf-20160106.pdf

I didn't get to do this because I would know anything about marketing or such, but because someone had to do it, and I didn't hide fast enough.

So for now we'd appreciate feedback especially on the following items:
- are there any major misconceptions ?
- is there anything important I've overlooked ?
- do you know anyone who would be willing to help us with this ?

Thanks !
