+1 - if the membership gives a damn about keeping evolt alive, they'll
do something to help keep it going

I say we should do the most simple and obvious thing.  Send out an
evolt-wide email explaining our current situation and that if we don't
come up with some $$$ in the near future, evolt will be severely
diminshed or even die completely.  If someone isn't willing to pony up
$5 or $10(or more) for the services that evolt provides them to help
out, then something is wrong.   This is supposed to be a community,
right?  So lets look to the community for support.

that's my take anyway
