while it's not very beautiful i am satisfied with the wiki. we are already pretty much spread over several platforms namely website, wiki, mailing list and not to name the forums and trackers on sf.net. a new cms would only contribute to this scattering. the wiki is already outdated in some areas and i'd rather see it updated than to start a fresh with a new cms. btw. don't expect to much from sf.net wordpress. last time i checked you were not even able to change the theme. what are your reasons to fancy wordpress? i'd see a possibility to convert the website over to wordpress, adopting the style and such. but therefor we'd have to install ourselves a wordpress. i could lend some webspace for that, as i think th sf.net webspace would not suffice, but i could be wrong. so as a website replacement i think it is a good idea. > > b - I also noticed that via Sourceforge and creation of PayPal account we can > activate a "donate"-Button on SourceForge.

I am actually asking > here all on the email list who have an opinion about that. is there a possibility to share paypal accounts, so several people would have access and could control each other? generally i am in favor, we should at ave the possibility for people to donate. if nobody donates, then at least it's not because there is no possibility. > > PS: we still have these incredible download rates (2000 a month for OJ > itself) - see the attached pdf.
