About a week ago our fundraising campaign on indiegogo finished with a total of 11'567$ raised from a total of 49 sponsors. The public count doesn't include a donation that we got from Acquia on the day the campaign closed that couldn't be transferred anymore through IndieGoGo because of authorization issues with Paypal. I would like to thank our sponsors, all the people that believed in us and the project and who became a backer. Your vote of confidence was crucial to show the world just how much potential this project has. You were there for us right at the start, we won't forget. I would like to make a special mention of INTRASOFT Intl Labs that jumped through a lot of hoops to be able to donate the 5'000$ that first got us beyond our target (any donation above 500$ requires you to complete a verification process with Paypal, don't ask…). So what is next? With the fundraising closed we are finalizing the voting process that will decide the distribution that will win the walkthrough documentation. This week we are reaching out to our sponsors to make sure all of them will have had the opportunity to cast their vote for the drupal distribution they would like this prize to go to. Next week we will also publish a preliminary roadmap for the project. We will hold a feedback round that will allow our backers and people from the community that missed the fundraising to have a say in the overall architecture and development priorities of the project. We have started work on a wiki on our GitHub repository that contains the user stories that we think have merit for the Walkthrough player and for the WalkHub distribution. A total of 150 votes have already been cast for the "this is Drupal" Ipad app. As a result we will already be writing an introductory Walkthrough for the following distributions: The following distributions already made it onto the iPad app:
