I think this is a terrific suggestion.  I suggested something similar in IRC
today:

[1:07pm] vanjuggler: InfiL00p: jeffdavis: i have a funding suggestion
[1:07pm] vanjuggler: if we really think that our group will grow so that we
have enough money to cover rent in a few months, then
[1:08pm] vanjuggler: perhaps we could incent people (the core regulars, at
least) to put in more money for the first few months, and less money in the
remaining months
[1:08pm] vanjuggler: like perhaps if I am paying $40/month, i could put down
$40x12 for a year membership
[1:08pm] vanjuggler: (or even $40x12 - 10% or something) for a year
[1:09pm] vanjuggler: so that we'll have some captial to work with
[1:23pm] goldfish_yo_work: vanjuggler: I think that's a really good idea. We
could even put up some plaques or something to stroke our egos a bit.


Cheers,
Luke
