<term>Crowd Funding Campaigns</term>
<listitem>
- <para>Crowd funding campaigns are campaigns we run to get badly wanted features funded that can service a large number of people. Each campaign is specifically focused on a particular feature or set of features. Each sponsor chips in a small fraction of the needed funding and with enough people/organizations contributing, we have the funds to pay for the work that will help many. If you have an idea for a feature you think many others would be willing to co-fund, please post to the <ulink url="http://www.postgis.org/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users">PostGIS newsgroup</ulink> your thoughts and together we can make it happen. </para>
