I think it could be a bit too much of a headache. Also, I think the WaSP
probably wouldn't be interested. They seem to be self-funded, and purely
about the message -- IOW they wouldn't want to be seen to be asking for it.
Shirley do you know about their position with this?

It's a nice idea, but the most important thing at the moment, IMO is to get
funding for us up and running. The only other qualm I have with something
such as this would be that maybe some members wouldn't like the partners.
IOw they'd be fine to give to us, but wouldn't want to if some of the dosh
was going to some other site which they never used.
