I see that the campaign finished back in December with very little buy-in sadly... $1000 out of the $350,000 goal. Unfortunate...
I would love to see this project move forward, but I don't hold high hopes for funding it this way. NZ is a small market, and the amount of enthusiasts here is likely too minimal to raise this amount nationally - the only real way to raise that capital would, I am assuming, be better coming from commercial sponsors. Perhaps consider approaching IT companies and any large corporate that would see it as an investment, or Motat/Auckland Museum and see if there is anything that they may be able to assist with?
Otherwise a more international crowdfunding site and sell it to the world - obviously it would need to be sold as something to benefit a
global interest...
Hopefully Mark will give it another bash... Still a great idea.
