Nice work, Michael. This should satisfy longstanding demands from outside
the US. I too have had only good experiences, personally, with PayPal.

This reminds me that it's been a while since I last donated funds. I'll send
some money now.

Happy New Year, Michael and everyone at Haiku! (And thank you, all, for your
hard work and steadfast dedication to this inspiring project.)

Subject: [openbeos] PayPal is now open!


Many, many people have asked me about donating from outside of the US. I was
reluctant to choose paypal (which seems like an obvious choice) because I
know that they have received a lot of bad press in the past.

My experience with paypal has been nothing but good. I was very impressed
with their customer support recently when I needed it. And, honestly, no one
has had a better suggestion.

So now there are more choices for donating to Haiku. NetworkForGood for
folks in the US, Paypal for anyone, sending a check, or emailing me for bank
info.

I used my personal email for the paypal account. I chose that so that people
would know that it was "legit"; I have used this email address since the
beginning of the project.

We don't and won't spam, beg, whine or otherwise solicit donations in any
irritating manner.

In other news, we have changed web hosting from a donated source to paid
(through Site5) hosting. We are still in the process of getting our backups
from the old site so that we can restore everything, but www.haiku-os.org
now has a message, at least, instead of not responding. :-) We hope to get
the site up and running with a new newsletter within the week.

Happy New Year!

Michael
