@MCSF @garbados

aaaaahhh. No, please. I mean really how is it possible using google forms for this.

Please don't spread this until fixed!

@MCSF @garbados

"helps folks see" .. this is for the vision-impaired? At any rate..

Goo.gl is NOT #FreeAsInFreedom. But I'm utterly indigent so will bite the bullet & have a look-see!
PEACE!

@linuxusergroup thanks for pointing that out about "see"! i'll change it right away.

someone volunteered a server for us to use, so we'll be moving away from the google form soon. i used it as a prototype, since folks need things NOW and i didn't want to wait.

@MCSF All good.. just looked at the form. Don't know where to begin as to my ridiculously long, sad tale.. but know there r many-- not in a gentrified town like me-- much worse off. (Kiva seems to favor 3rd world, btw.. demands a business license from me which I can ill afford, meh.) And saw u have reserves of €1.63 .. (hey I have $0.005 or so from cryptocurrency fuacets!).. srsly, I wish you utmost success with this! Will check back for sure.

@MCSF @garbados YAY!!!! This is exactly the kind of thing I wanted to see happen! :-)

Eventually it will probably need some governance, but for now it's more important just to get it working.

I hope to be able to donate regularly soon.
