Jess Nevins’ digital Encyclopedia of Golden-Age Science Fiction, for example, got funded on Kickstarter recently, and I bet this was easier to accomplish because of the fan base he could access for support. If this session doesn’t happen, I’d love to talk more about this via Twitter post-THATCamp!

I’m not there, but this is something I’d be very interested in discussing, post-Camp. I went to library school because I was interested in creating digital archives of subcultural materials (zines, 7”s, ephemera) and came up against a lot of the issues you mentioned here through my coursework. I’d love to dig back into this as a potential crowd-funded project.
