but that is not a discussion task only for designer. I created the Donation-Portlet because there was a discussion and request on other lists (If I remember correctly the website list). Thus the discussion had to take place on the Website- or the Foundation-Discuss-List, because otherwise we'll discuss this topic again and again on different lists. > So, refining the tasks list ... open for discussion, of course. > > Interest of the people approaching the page: > 1.

But there is a link to a howto, that Gustavo and others wrote about this topic, on every extension project page. I worked on the code of Plone Software Center to make it posible that there is a hyperlink (and not only a text-link) to the howto. If it helps, I can put the link also on the homepage. > 3.
