Start of Crowdfunding for Piwik 2.0: Donate to directly support the Piwik 2.0 development!

The road to Piwik 2.0
These are exciting time for Piwik, as we begin our march towards Piwik 2.0 and cross off features from the Piwik 2.0 Roadmap. Our goal is to make Piwik 2.0 the ultimate Open Source Web Analytics Platform. Some of the features we have in-store towards the goal of Piwik 2.0 include: Beautiful detailed Visitor Cities and Regions Maps, new Analytics features, new reports, custom Alerts, new admin options, and much much more.
Crowdfunding Piwik 2.0
To accelerate development we need your help as never before. We are starting a crowdfunding initiative to help us fund more than 50 improvements that will make Piwik the best open web analytics software on many levels. By donating you help us directly fund the team to implement these features quickly, so we can achieve Piwik 2.0 in 2013 rather than 2014 or later. In return for your help not only will you get cool features, but Piwik swag as well.
Beautiful Flash Free Maps
Our first foray into the crowdfunding features will be the beautiful Flash-free maps. We need your monetary help to get us to the final leg of completion. These maps will use SVG+JS+HTML5. It will also help us remove the last Flash hold-out in the Piwik interface. These maps will allow us to provide you with user data from countries, states, regions and in many cases down to the city level. The goal for this feature is $4,000 dollars, with the minimum pledge at $10. If you can donate to it’s completion it would be much appreciated. To do so, you can visit the funding page: Awesome and Flash Free Maps!.
Future Features
We will be adding new features all the time, so please make sure to check here: Current Crowd Funding Features.Your help in sharing this page, and promoting those features you want to your social graph and other Piwik users would be much appreciated. The faster we achieve our funding objectives for features, the quicker we can add them to Piwik. As always Piwik will remain a free and open source software, but your monetary donations will aid us in keeping it as a leader in open source analytics, with the best feature set.
Make a difference now, help us achieve Piwik 2.0 and pledge for the Beautiful Maps Project!

Query. Is the money used to purchase a license or does the money go to the developers ?

How about crowdfunding the refactoring of raw queries to a database agnosting query layer in order to allow Piwik to run on other SQL-databases without the need to test on all supported databases? I’d be the first to pledge on such a project.

Is Piwik accepting Bitcoin donations yet? I’ll donate as soon as Piwik puts up a Bitcoin address in their donation page.
