This is certainly encouraging, thank you!

Well, I'd rather have a well-crafted plan first. All of that needs
to be on solid legal grounds. I'm sure there are various hurdles
due to local and international tax laws.
Writing invoices to companies worldwide is comparably easy (now
that I figured it out for many different countries). Not so for
individuals (not allowed to collect 'donations', VAT issues, etc).
I think it would be better to put out such a survey after all of
this has been cleared up.
