[Imc-finance] Fwd: [general] Funding

[Sheri Herndon]

hello everyone,
here's an email from the general helpdesk that i think should come to 
this list.  these types of questions keep getting asked.  we need a 
kind of mini FAQ for the finance list so we can quickly answer these. 
how about if someone drafts up a beginning comment and we can 
collaboratively share some more info and make the beginning of a faq 
for the finance/sustainability questions that come up fairly 
regularly.  i'm at the ruckus tech activist camp now so can't do this 
now, but would be happy to jump in after the 3rd.
love
sheri
