RE: Please refer to the latest announcement
Sad to hear.
"either we would succeed on Indiegogo or we would shut down the project."
I thought this campaign's goal was just to reach a broader audience and not to fund the actual project. It may or may not fail to reach people but I feel like you are judging a great idea/project with the result of this "marketing" campaign, which seems odd to me.
I've read the feedbacks on other posts which were pretty reasonable, As others said this should be just a simple lesson to take and move on. I still believe that Utopian could be a place where open source lovers can gather around and collaborate together even without incentives. So failing on a funding campaign doesn't mean that the project is a failure.
There is one thing I'm concerned about, that is, you are talking about changes on the team. And even I don't believe, I hope at least this time, it's going to be in the right direction. Not the opposite.
Good luck.
