Another way to express that idea: "Put your money where your mouth is!" I'm not sure of the french translation though ;-)
The survey did ask respondents if they would be willing to help with other types of support for a potential satellite.
I said it in the survey but I'll say it here too:
Thanks to all who help get ham sats in orbit!

I think it's a good idea to find out what the sat community likes before you design a satellite that will be used/supported by the community.
It would be exciting to see a satellite with operations "designed by the user". The diverse opinions on favorite uses presents a challenge in meeting many or choosing the right few in order to please the most, of course. Perhaps the bottom line, as John suggested "will be used/supported by the community", would be survey respondents willing to commit to contributions that would pay for the entire project in order to make your favorite operations become a reality.
