I'm writing software for a 2.5 ton musical instrument that breathes fire. Like most large scale art projects, it is funded in part by grants, and in part through fundraising efforts. One of our fundraising efforts is through kickstarter.com, an all-or-nothing funding website for creative endeavors.<p>Would it be appropriate to post a link to our kickstarter on HN? The project definitely falls within HN guidelines, but I'm uncertain about posting a link that is soliciting contributions.
I wouldn't upvote, but wouldn't flag it either, and I think it'll reach the frontpage.<p>Now, if you put some videos of the construction, some diagrams, some thoughts about the piece, I mean, information about the creative process and its labor, now that's something worthwhile of upvoting.
