I-forms only brings up a reporting framework on google, the os projects page has no reference to it, the indygogo link you gave has absolutely no text explaining what the os is. Your asking for 50k. please re-read the beginners mistakes page again, and know everything about recruiting also applies to donations.

I-forms only brings up a reporting framework on google,

that OS i put it there in 2012, it was the first build.

the os projects page has no reference to it

,
i haven't added it yet to the OS Projects Page ().

the indygogo link you gave has absolutely no text explaining what the os is Your asking for 50k.

if you need any further information i can provide them, by the way (many more to come).

please re-read the beginners mistakes page again, and know everything about recruiting also applies to donations.

beginners mistakes page i read it many times 3 years ago before i start my first OS.

finally, some screen shuts (by the way it's not complete but it's an OS).

regards.

type "i-Forms OS" and see the second result (with no private results), or just go her https://sourceforge.net/projects/i-forms/,

Note: it's out of date as i mentioned in the previous reply.

To get your project funded through crowdsourcing, you need a reason why people would donate. Generally;

It's a product they really want to use. You have to build up hype with a video of the work-in-progress, and giving an enthusiastic video interview of why your project is awesome. And...
They get something in exchange for their money. You can offer them a discount, a special copy, their name carved in stone, access to beta, some kind of merchandise - or (with physical goods with limited manufacturing ability) a guarantee to receive one of the first batches out of the factory.

You don't want your campaign to say "raise money for my pet project but you'll get nothing you want in return". I remember seeing one kid on eBay raise money to buy a PlayStation 4 for his family, and the winning bidder would win a photo of the family. Nobody bidded.
