Very cool. As a big fan of video games, kick starter, and commons this is a
nice set of worlds colliding. Big props to Evan-Amos for the work he's
already done.
I'd love to get notifications when new images are contributed by him.
Currently I can go to Special:ListFiles to see what he's uploaded but that
requires an action from me.
Does anyone know if I can have echo notify me when a new upload by a
particular users occurs? Effectively I'd like to a notification and/or
stream of users I've followed on Commons so that I can then take those
images and use them on articles. If not maybe it'll be a fun side project
for me.

A post is live on Gizmodo today about a Commons
contributor (Evan-Amos) who
takes high quality photos of video game systems and hardware.[1] Towards
the end it mentions that Evan started a Kickstarter to fund his efforts to
buy and photograph more systems as part of an online museum.[2]
Anyone know if this is the first Wikimedia-related Kickstarter campaign, or
has it happened before? What do people think about someone raising ~$13k to
contribute photos to Commons? How does that fit in the debate about paid
editing? To me it has a very different feel than, say, Wiki-PR. But...
