It doesn't cover the ongoing costs though. Kickstarter makes sense to create a product that's then going to be sold to others.
Wouldn't that be a great way to do CopperheadOS? I'd strongly consider kickstarter finding a new version of CopperheadOS.

e.g. $900,000 goal to fund at least 3 devs delivering compelling improvements over mainline on Xperia X Compact in 18 months.

For example, check out https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/turris-omnia-hi-performance-open-source-router-security-network#/ …. They had a low goal, but that's b/c they're in E. Europe.

We would still end up continuing if reaching the goal failed so there isn't a proper way to do a kickstarter campaign for that.
-
It could be used to fund specific features, where developers are hired to implement them. Don't know if it would work out.
-
For example https://github.com/copperhead/bugtracker/issues/451 … could be a small kickstarter alone perhaps with stretch goal for attempting to upstream it.
-
The thing is, I'm not going to switch to CopperheadOS unless it has *many* improvements and may be sustainable in future.
-
It's essentially just barely sustainable now but developing major new features won't happen without significant funding for it.
-
Primarily not due to donations or sales, but due to having a license requiring companies to buy a commercial license.

If you found a model that works for you, that's great. Just saying Omnia showed success for a similar project w/ crowdfunding
-
I think your current model makes more sense for you. Most projects would probably need some funding to get to where you're at.
