Progress for 2012:
The site has become such a big success that we are reaching a crossroads: The costs of running the project are constantly rising and we can't keep putting an ever-increasing amount of private money into it.This site is a labour of love and will never become profitable, only financially self-sustaining. We will never get paid for the tens of thousands of hours that we have put into the project since 2002, and we expect to put even more money into the project in the coming years. However, we hope that you will share the costs with us. We think that's fair: If we help you, you'll help us.

Other expenses
The above-mentioned expenses do of course not include the 9 years we've put into coding our publication system (some 45,000+ lines of code), building and maintaining the website since 2002, building our network of authors, flying around the world to do video interviews, studying Danish copyright law, and the other things that have made our project a success.
