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.

Collecting money
