Nothing like a Monday morning update about updates. Ahh... kind of like a meeting about meetings, and we all LOVE meetings right?

Well I thought I was being all clever with the promotion of the donation and subscription systems only to find that a whole bunch of transactions were being rejected. Thanks to Matthew Whitenack for working with me to get to the bottom of the problem.



Here's the latest:

• The donation system has been tweaked a bit and should be working better. If you tried to donate but were unsuccessful in getting your donation confirmed by PayPal you can try again or contact me directly. At least one person has donated this morning and it appears to be working better.
• The subscription service to get rid of the banner ads has been tweaked a bit and should be working better. At least one person has used it successfully this morning already!

On Friday afternoon I sent out an email to most users asking for help with some projects I have going on with the site. Thanks to all those who replied and I've set up places for us to collaborate on getting that work done.

• Documentation Library - a place to store searchable versions of policies, procedures, training manuals - you name it. Any document you'd like to share with the world
• Ideas Inventory Integration - The Ideas section of the site keeps breaking. I want to get it upgraded to the latest available version and integrated properly with the rest of the site.
• Conference wrangling - This still has to be crystalized a bit but feel free to start discussion about what Blackbus gatherings, tasks, or other things we'd like to do while we are all assembled in Charleston in November.

Thanks again to everyonewho has volunteered to step up. The more the merrier!
