Thanks Patrik
2500$ is a pretty high amount of money and to be frank we didn't believe we could ask 250 people to give 10-15$ for this. If there was a group of 3000 peope ready to give 1$ for making articles open access then yes but that is still to be organized or to be found :)
Still, crowdtilt looks like an interesting tool.
Now thanks to Marc of Hackteria you can share this link if you prefer :)

Looks great!
Any particular reason for why you didn't wind up doing a tiny fundraiser to make it Open Access though?
One of the local hackerspaces here - Ace Monster Toys - has been making really good use of CrowdTilt to fund some of their equipment purchases. Much lower weight than kickstarter, and it's aimed more at splitting the cost between an existing group of people, rather than crowdfunding as widely as possible. I think that would be a great model for something like this.
