"One thing I do notice is that Laserman's appeal for funding of this project (either in cash, or gifts-in-kind) has fallen on deaf ears"
Actually, I have had one person contact me in regards to this. As this project is going to happen regardless, funding would simply move up the time-table for the release (though I could think of a few special things that donators would receive.

And just a reminder, Laserman simply procurred the transfer. Zion and myself will be making the DVDs from this transfer.
