Guides/Running a pledge

Before starting a pledge

• Check that there is demand for the item you wish to buy on the mailing list and on IRC.
• Wait a few days - you may find that a member already has a similar item that they'll be willing to donate.
• If you think there is suitable demand then set up a pledge.

Setting up the pledge

• Create a pledge page - you can use this form.
• Notify the mailing list of your pledge, including a link to your pledge page.
