Yeah, there will be an ongoing annual cost, which annoys me
greatly, but I feel the resources we have here are worth keeping.
Right now I'm in the process of getting approved for a Stripe
account (Group.io required donation processor), so in the mean
time I'm using my Paypal account for this (less than ideal I
know).
Once the stripe account is active I'll set up the donations
system in the group and my hope is that everyone can chip in a
small amount, no heroics, with me being the default fall back if
the donations are coming up short for the annual costs.
In the meantime I'm hoping to find a free host or at least a
lower cost one.
PayPal address for donations is: Thomas@... just put
something about the group in the payment description, if we go
over the $220 I will add those funds to the stripe account.
Cheers, Thomas Janstrom

I'll help. My understanding
is that the $220 is just for one year.

Hi All,?
Just a quick missive from your absentee
group owner.
I'm in the process of getting things
going to transfer this group and the
ATM_Free group over to Group.io, however I
would really appreciate some help with the
costs involved.?
Sadly going forwards a few donations here
and there towards the US$220/year hosting
fees would be greatly appreciated. The
Groups.io portal has the option to enable
donations towards group costs so the funds
would be handled at arms length.
Getting the ball rolling on the transfer
of these two groups is going to stretch my
finances, so feel free to message me at
VacuumX-owner@... for details on how
you can help out.?
Best regards, and clear skies.
Thomas Janstrom.
