[HCoop-Discuss] HCoop needs capital to grow services (60% there!)

[btr]

I have had a terrible time trying to respond to this request (the wiki 
is down, but remote IMAP sending hasn't worked for me for a couple of 
years, and I had trouble signing in to the wiki when it was running), so 
I'm giving up on anonymity, and just using the dumb webmail client. It 
is also unclear how to send money to the board via the portal as 
indicated.

In short, I don't really benefit from HCoop, but would like to. It's a 
nice idea in theory, at least.

I will pledge $400.
