Funding a collective research effort, even at a virtual level, is possible if there are clear established goals that would justify in their achievement the disbursement to be made by the sponsors. In other words, expectations must be reasonably feasible to meet and reasonably rewarding, if met.

In setting these goals, do we try to sell a super ambitious endeavor to break the cypher? (I'd love to see the project summary to that one!). I would much rather try to seek financing for a comprehensive analysis of "contemporary" manuscripts that are digitally available, which would hopefully land the much-sought-after clue that we've been looking for. After all, isn't that what many of us have been doing for free (and for fun) all these years?

Just my two cents...
