I'd forgotten about that; you might also look at http://www.pledgebank.com/ - less compulsion, so no fee. > As for what we'll do if the total isn't reached, I don't think we'd > really thought of that.

I know, I'm just patiently waiting for that next release ;) Not quite willing to run trunk at the moment- maybe I'll switch to that over the summer when the tool isn't quite so critical for me. > Recurring actions might take a little longer...
