SqF pages PayPal button help needed
by tim Rowledge 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

OK, somewhere out there is a an expert in making the html for paypal buttons. I'm just finalising some pages to go on the foundation site and I need to make some paypal buttons so all you lovely people can conveniently send money and get badges. I could just blindly copy from other sites but that risks money going astray and people not getting badges; bad. What we need are buttons that will send money to the right place allow optional changed amounts (in case someone wants to donate $137.43 for example) let the donor give a delivery address for the badge All the info used by the current donor page can be found in the source of http://smallwiki.unibe.ch/squeakfoundation/supporters tim -- tim Rowledge; tim(a)rowledge.org; http://www.rowledge.org/tim Hipatitis (n): Terminal coolness

If you login to your paypal account (I think it has to be a business account - but still free) you can go to merchant tools (something like that) and a few clicks away are wizards to generate the HTML. they also have a number of docs that describe all the more intricate ways to interface. regards, nicholas >From: Brad Fuller <brad(a)bradfuller.com> >Reply-To: The general-purpose Squeak developers >list<squeak-dev(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org> >To: The general-purpose Squeak developers >list<squeak-dev(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org> >Subject: Re: SqF pages PayPal button help needed >Date: Wed, 04 Apr 2007 20:05:35 -0700 > >tim Rowledge wrote: >>OK, somewhere out there is a an expert in making the html for paypal >>buttons. >> >>I'm just finalising some pages to go on the foundation site and I need to >>make some paypal buttons so all you lovely people can conveniently send >>money and get badges.

Hi All, News Team Report for March 2007. There is very little but stats to report.

We were listed as the top blog post of the day on wordpress once, and were included in an article about wordpress as the top blog. We are frequently listed in the top 50 wordpress posts, and usually in the top 20 of that list when we post something new. That list does bring in a lot of readers. Most of our articles are read by about 500 people. Some of our older articles still get a number of readers. We also are getting picked up by a number of other blogs: http://tinyurl.com/2vgyao it's always fun to watch who references us. We really could use some new members.

Box-Admins Team Report for March, 2007
by Ken Causey 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

The box-admins team is reponsible for seeing that the community shared server is maintained and setting up any new features to be hosted on that server. For March 2007: We worked with the Elections team to help ensure that everyone could register for the possibility of voting and got the list of eligible voters to them. The biggest news probably is that with the assistance of Jens Holze the Mantis bug service was moved to the community server which allows the box-admins team to administer it fully and directly. For example this allowed us to fix the long standing issue with viewing the project documentation. I want to thank the community for the monetary support needed to fund the box and remind them that the bills continue to appear and that you can currently contribute to the hosting bills by going to http://discuss.squeakfoundation.org/ and clicking on the 'donate' button at the top right. Note that a donation here may be used for other Squeak Foundation services including but not limited to development, development infrastructure, and promotion of Squeak. The services being hosted have continued to grow and include (but are not limited to): http://www.squeak.org/ SqueakMap - http://map.squeak.org/ http://ftp.squeak.org/ http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/ http://discuss.squeakfoundation.org/ http://source.squeakfoundation.org/ http://map.squeak.org/ https://svn.squeak.org/ http://update.squeakfoundation.org/ http://wiki.squeak.org/ http://bugs.squeak.org/ and DNS services for squeak.org and squeakfoundation.org domain names.

Number>>readFrom: again [was: KernelTests-dc.56.mcz]
by Klaus D. Witzel 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hi Damien, I knew there was something strange sometime with number parsing: do you remember the thread "[BUG] nil ~= 1and: [1 isNil] is parsed+compiled without complaint". That time it was decided, IIRC, that '1and' parses '1' then 'and' correctly. So what can a sender of #readFrom: do - a) decide that it will indeed send #readFrom: and - b) decide what to do if no digit is before the first nonDigit, nonMinus character. One solution would be that (Number>>readFrom: 'and') returned nil, just to make it different from (Number>>readFrom: '0and'). OTOH the Scanner handles the case when Number>>readFrom: signals an error, why doesn't everybode else do so ;-) /Klaus On Wed, 21 Mar 2007 15:06:04 +0100, Damien Cassou wrote: > Nicolas told me that this bugs follows the bug: > http://bugs.impara.de/squeak/view.php?id=3512 > > > The aim of the test is to verify that an error is thrown instead of 0 > which is a number and should not indicate an error.
