Hi,
I just learned about Kiva a few days ago, and liked the idea. I'm an independent game developer (i.e. someone who creates computer games with small teams and no funding and sells them themselves online) so I started a team others like myself, and started promoting it among the forums that I post on, and then someone else on a forum I posted about it on started a competing team for casual game developers (the two have a kind of rivalry). These are the two teams:

One thing I've run up against in my promotion of these teams is that a lot of people think it's some type of fraud, or are suspicious of charities in general. I'm kind of surprised by that reaction. Although thankfully that's a minority of people -- most people are positive about the idea. Anyway, just saying "hello".
