Regarding the hivetips proposal, if you followed it closely enough (which few do, so I can see why you might have missed it), their actual plan at this point is to use a far smaller amount. However, they'd probably be better off canceling their old proposal and putting up a new one, if they actually hope to get it funded, since most people just look at those numbers and go "WTF?!". Anyways, my vote alone is far from being enough to vote it in, regardless.

I recently decided to vote on two marketing-style proposals (this one and qwoyn's): both are somewhat flawed, but mostly it's me signaling I'm willing to support marketing proposals, since there seems to be a general opinion among some people that stakeholders aren't willing to do so.
