Hi,

Please see below regarding a change required for the donation links.
 Speaking of which... did they get carried over into the new website?

Regards,

Galen

Hi, all:

If you haven't heard, Google has announced that they will discontinue their
Google Checkout payment service on November 20, 2013[1].  All Member
Projects must remove any Google Checkout donation details (e.g., links,
applets, etc.) from their website by November 13.  You should also publish
an announcement or blog post letting your respective communities know about
the pending change.

Once Google Checkout is discontinued, PayPal will be the only online
payment service that Conservancy supports - at least, until we can find
another suitable replacement.  We're currently investigating other
solutions for additional credit card donation processing, but each solution
brings their own set of problems and flaws.  If and when we're able to find
another service, we'll make another announcement and send around the
information necessary to collect donations via your Projects' respective
websites.

On a separate note:  Conservancy has created [members-discuss], a new
discussion list for cross-project issues, like this one.  You can register
here:

https://lists.sfconservancy.**org/mailman/listinfo/members-**discuss<https://lists.sfconservancy.org/mailman/listinfo/members-discuss>

Conservancy will still use the [project-reps] mailing list to send out
org-wide announcements to all of our Projects.  But, if you'd like to
participate in discussions with your sister Projects, feel free to join and
post to the [members-discuss] list.

Thanks!  Best, -Tony
