a group of people are raising money for a cause.
poEdit Mac OS X port
Payment has been disbursed to the group leader.
One of the bigger problems for the Plone translation team is that there is no cross-platform translation software available (apart from text editors) at the moment.
The author of poEdit (which already runs on Windows and Linux) has said that he's willing to port and maintain the program to Mac OS X (this is less work than it sounds - it almost works already, but there are some strange wxWindows UI bugs that makes it unusable - but it essentially runs on OS X already).
He needs about 430 euros to get a cheap Mac to maintain the port, and has already done lots of fixes to poEdit to make it work better with the Plone translation files.
I would like to raise the remaining 430 euros (~$550 USD) for him so he can buy a Mac Mini and work on the port. I'm putting in 50 euros, Jodok Batlogg is pledging the same amount.
If you care about Plone having access to high-quality translation tools across platforms, please consider contributing! And if you just like Plone and would like to show your appreciation, that's OK too. :)
Please note that as with all fundable.org fundraisers, if the full reserve is not met, the money will not be withdrawn from your PayPal account - so you run no risk of the money not being used for its intended purpose.

So now ?
Now all these good people have donated, and nothing happens with poEdit for mac ??
By donating, at least these people have gained a right on a working version of poEdit, don't they ?
What is happening now ? "Pay for vaporware ?" - No, thanks.
