@David: These are smart questions to ask. We have funding for approximately one year and of course will be raising money for the following year during that period However, the actual cost of running the servers (approx $35K/year) is less than 10% of our total budget - we spend the vast majority on development and outreach activities. Should we find ourselves without sufficient funds to run as we currently do we would redirect funding towards simply maintaining our servers for a couple of years. We have been considering raising a 'keep the servers running' endowment and putting our code on escrow. Hope that helps. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. The bottom line - our servers will be running in two years!

Hello, I'm considering using Wiser Earth for creating a group centered around a 2-year project for adapting forest management to climate change. I am concerned about investing time and energy into creating, developing, and administering a group if a year down the road, Wiser Earth goes offline and my group along with it. For how long does Wiser Earth currently have funding? What happens if it goes offline? Thanks!
