I am not sure why LC doesn't just play a DONATE (via paypal or something) button on either the https://livecode.org/ page or the https://livecode.org/contribute/ page It's kind of hidden, but in the footer of https://www.joomla.org/contribute-to-joomla.html there is a link to donate (https://

As organizer you should do it as you think best. What I meant by Indigogo not returning funds is that the donors don't get their money back. That's okay as long as the donors know that LC gets the money even if it isn't enough to fix the target bugs. Otherwise they may come back to you with the

Yes, I am willing to organise a fundraiser to help finance ironing out LiveCode bugs. I am, however, not sure how to go about that; 1. Set up a 'thing' on Indiegogo (because this is not a fund-raiser to have a set lower limit)? 2. Link it to a dedicated bank account belonging to LiveCode? 3
