Thanks again for the input. I've had several private emails about Squeak/Pro and there is a surprising amount of interest -- and even $1000+ pledged so far. Some ideas are being bounced around as to what would make a more interesting proposal -- one thing under consideration is making pledges equal to purchasing support contracts in advance.

I'm in. I'd put my pledge at the $500-$1000 level. Do I get a T-shirt or something? =)
How about this: In addition to my $500 base, I'll put up a $500 "challenge". I'll match (US dollar for US dollar) any new pledges up to $500. If you get $500 in new pledges (be honest) I'll give a full $1000. Refundable if the project craps out, of course. That includes sudden trips to the tropics with new-found wealth. ;-)
Better start a web site with pledge amounts if you haven't already done so (I'm still catching up on my reading).
Cheers,
Gabriel
