[ros-dev] ReactOS fundraising campaign

[Aleksey Bragin]

Yes, I've got about 20 emails suggesting Kickstarter campaign, not to 
count requests via IRC.
So, it's indeed a good chance, I'll discuss it with our team, however I 
wanted to save it for a better breakthrough, after we've gained 
experience with existing donations and showed people how good it works 
in reality, not just promises.

WBR,
Aleksey.
