Micheas, Once you've tested the code, I'd be happy to hear about: * how hard/easy it was to set up. * any improvement that could be made in the documentation. Also, feel free to update that page directly on our wiki. * who, other than yourself, who ends up using the code. I don't think Wikimedia uses the OneClick code. They do use CiviCRM for some backend things, but as far as I know they don't use CiviCRM with anything user-facing. The Mozilla Foundation expressed some interest in the OneClick system some months back, and I worked with them, but they were on a tight deadline and were forced to use stock CiviCRM contribution pages for now. I suppose it's possible that CiviCRM could allow the inclusion of those scripts in the /bin directory at some point. I might be able to talk the devs into it if they thought enough people had an interest in it.
