Thought this might interest you, especially if you are doing video in classrooms.
People sometimes wonder how software can be freely distributed. Someone decides it should be so. Someone does the work, and often someone else supports the work. This could be one chance you have to support a good open format idea.

Project Update #3: Thanks for your support! And tell your friends... :-)

Just wanted to make a quick update to say "Thanks!" for supporting this Kickstart.

I originally came up with the Lib-Ray idea as a way to solve my own distribution problem, and I just thought it might be useful to other people as well. I published the idea about a year ago and wrote about the recent prototype changes early this year, but I didn't notice a whole lot of interest.  I was not sure what would happen if I put it up on Kickstarter, but I thought it was worth a try.

The response has been pretty gratifying: I've received a lot of positive comments, a few suggestions, a few offers of help, and of course quite a few backers like you.

However, interest is starting to slow down at around 15%, which probably means we're hitting the saturation point for my own network. Probably if I post more about this myself, I'll just be hammering the same people with it, and they may get kind of tired of that.

So it would be much more effective at this point if you mention the project to your own networks -- send a link to friends and colleagues who you think might be interested in the idea.

Even if we don't make it, though, I feel extremely honored by your support. Thank you!

Terry Hancock
