Sounds great. I don't mine with the pool, but I would definitely pledge some % of my research rewards for the fundraising period.

If the duration is 6 months, I guess we'd have to wait until that time had passed to see what projects are available to be funded. I'm sure we'd be able to find something worthwhile though. (You mentioned experiment.com … I've heard of them before and they seem to have a reasonable supply of active projects.)
