Usability testing or privacy are nice ideas, but we have to be able to
link the money we will raise to these deliverables. How will extra
funds ensure that these things happen? Can we guarantee that we will
make progress if we raise enough cash?

I asked about extra hardware for testing a little while back [1]. The
answer I got [2] was that extra money wasn't currently required. It
was implied that extra sysadmin resources would help though.

One idea - could we raise money to support extra interns through the
Outreach Program for Women?
