Oh, I hadn't seen fundable.org - that would have been much better  
than my home-hacked solution! I might look into it and see if I could  
start it up half way (I could pledge the amount already donated to  
start it off). The only thing that puts me off slightly is the 7%  
fee, but I guess we can work that in.

As for what we'll do if the total isn't reached, I don't think we'd  
really thought of that. We have every confidence that we'll  
(eventually) get there!

Thanks very much for the donation! By the way, there's a tickler in  
the trunk, so it will be in the next release. Recurring actions might  
take a little longer...

cheers,
