I profusely apologize for the lack of information but I am told that progress is being made and I promise that as soon as I know something I will issue an update. I'm hoping it will not take much longer. http://www.pledgebank.com/nouveaudriver#comment_1368163 Hello there, Still no instruction about how to participate yet ? http://www.pledgebank.com/nouveaudriver#comment_1361075 I'm agree. Let's do it. http://www.pledgebank.com/nouveaudriver#comment_1100852 What happened? http://www.pledgebank.com/nouveaudriver#comment_942792 Hope they get it set soon. I have been checking my emails spam box just in case the info got routed there. http://www.pledgebank.com/nouveaudriver#comment_909690 I'm sorry but if you use Paypal, I wont/can't participate. Working with a trusted 3rd party as FSF was a good idea me thinks. http://www.pledgebank.com/nouveaudriver#comment_856044 The pledge says AT LEAST $10. Yup, I have $100AUD ready. :-) http://www.pledgebank.com/nouveaudriver#comment_853893 Yes. let's do it. My $10 are ready!!!! http://www.pledgebank.com/nouveaudriver#comment_811280 Okay I think I owe you all an update, I've been busy politely poking a bunch of non-profits to work with us. This has taken much longer than expected mostly due to many rejections and long waits on replies. However this will have the advantage of the donations being to a non-profit so Stephanes personal account won't get closed by the French banking authorities for suspected abuse, it will also mean advantagous taxing conditions so more of your generous donations will go to the developers. I'm happy to tell you all that the developers have agreed upon a solution and all we are waiting for is being formally accepted by that (yet unnamed) non-profit and then we can open the floodgates - I don't know how much longer this will take but as soon as I know something precise I will send out notifications. Thank you for your patience, this has taken much longer than I had ever expected but all is now back on track.. hopefully. http://www.pledgebank.com/nouveaudriver#comment_804789 I think that the problem is not the payment method, but the fact that potentially, anything from a quarter to half the money might be liable for taxes if the thing is done wrong. See http://lovesunix.net/blog/?p=161 When I asked the FSF if they could assist, they said that they were already discussing it with David, so hopefully this problem will be solved soon. http://www.pledgebank.com/nouveaudriver#comment_798407 Who do I pay the money to? I can't believe all this fuss about the payment method. Let the people with PayPal accounts pay that way and let the conscientious objectors find their own method. http://www.pledgebank.com/nouveaudriver#comment_754048 ¿Se puede donar si uno quiere aunque ya se haya terminado el proceso de inscripción?. http://www.pledgebank.com/nouveaudriver#comment_691865 > Please let us know when you have the > payment details sorted out.

They will publish it and let everyone know as soon as they are ready. http://www.pledgebank.com/nouveaudriver#comment_649751 Please let us know when you have the payment details sorted out. I am anxious to get this obligation paid. http://www.pledgebank.com/nouveaudriver#comment_640383 This fluendo shop seems like an excellent idea, beacuse it is tricky to keep a paypal account if you very rarely use it. I had one, but they disabled it because I used it only once and in the mean time forgot my password etc. Also I don't like to keep money in an account at paypal that I never use. On the other hand, how much trouble would it be for the fluendo shop? How would it work for them with taxes? Why is it still so bloody complicated in this day and age to make international money transfers? http://www.pledgebank.com/nouveaudriver#comment_634552 What about contacting some friendly online shop(like Fluendo shop) so they set up a product called 'Nouveau 10$ donation' and I could make the donation just buying this product with my credit card. I would like to make the donation as easy as when I buy something online (I don't know what is needed for a PayPal account but I don't like it...) http://www.pledgebank.com/nouveaudriver#comment_628747 Hi, Has there been a final decision yet david? Would be great if you could post the email address to send the money too. Ciaran http://www.pledgebank.com/nouveaudriver#comment_628358 I really hope this gets enough.
