Hello guys,

hope you enjoyed the lovely weather last week. This week it doesn't look too
nice where I am, so I am back to the desk.

Just wanted to check in on you and see how progress is. Is everything going
well?

I have been spending loads of time on the payment API. I have to implement the
whole thing out of hundreds of pages of documentation. But on the bright side,
this gives us loads of flexibility.

So I have a few answers to the questions that were still unanswered:

* We won't support recurring donations with PayPal. They generally do offer
that, but require a minimum turnover of 25000 EUR each month. I laughed and h=
ung
up the phone.

* All the rest is looking good: Credit card transfers are basically set up; S=
EPA
mandates are being generated and we will email a PDF document to the donors.

Loads and loads of things are ready so far, but a few more things are left. I
hope to have the payment implementation done by the end of this week and then=
 I
will have to spend a little time on how we track the donations and how we send
out emails, etc.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Best,
-Michael
