That's a possibility, although it would require a knowledgeable person to gather the quotes. We do have one person, ellenmillion, potentially willing to code the site on a crowdfunded basis.
It might be preferable to use IndieGoGo, which allows partial fundraising, rather than Kickstarter which only pays off if the goal is met. With IndieGoGo, we could stack goals; frex, $XXX would fund the core of the site, $YYY would add a forum, and so on with other features. We could prioritize from the most vital features to bells & whistles that people had requested, and see how much folks are actually willing to pony up for.
