Re: [Koha] Update on International Koha Fund - THE PAYPAL donate button CODE

[Liz Rea]

Hi,

Please file a bug in the community tracker under "website" for anything
that you'd like added to the website regarding this fund and
functionality, and I'll have a look at it straight away.

That goes for any other questions/comments/suggestions/bugs regarding
the website as well.

Cheers,
Liz
