I'm not going to manage to finish preparing the campaign in just two weeks :-(. We
have a sprint in Deventer to finish the drafts for the kickstarter page, the
list of rewards and the press releases the weekend of April 15th, and after that
we still need to work on the video. Plus, the release won't be ready by then.

The other way around could work, though, starting on May 15th. That would even
give us two more weeks to fix bugs... CC'ing the kimageshop mailing list, since
this isn't something I can decide on my own either.
