Created this page to fix type in Microfunding

New page

This is an application that uses videos to boost participation and promotion of the True Fans program.

== Previous Work ==
Earlier work on [[Microfunding]] was pursued by Nikolay Georgiev and a group of remote collaborators, but the work wasn't completed. Brad Lewis took over the project from Nikolay, and Jacob Dalton joined afterwards. On Nikolay's advice it was decided to integrate the microfunding application directly with the wiki rather than building a separate site on a CMS. This allows us to use the wiki to provide internationalization and account management.

==Collaborative Development Oppurtunities==

If someone with web development skills wanted to develop a way to import email contacts--that would be a big usability improvement. We don't plan to launch with this feature, so it would be a nice boost if someone wanted to lend a hand.

==Usability Testing==
Props to Matt for lending a hand:
