Anyone want to patch the web site to take down the Google checkout button?
Cheers,
Jeremy

Hi, all:
If you haven't heard, Google has announced that they will discontinue their Google Checkout payment service on November 20, 2013[1]. All Member Projects must remove any Google Checkout donation details (e.g., links, applets, etc.) from their website by November 13. You should also publish an announcement or blog post letting your respective communities know about the pending change.
Once Google Checkout is discontinued, PayPal will be the only online payment service that Conservancy supports - at least, until we can find another suitable replacement. We're currently investigating other solutions for additional credit card donation processing, but each solution brings their own set of problems and flaws. If and when we're able to find another service, we'll make another announcement and send around the information necessary to collect donations via your Projects' respective websites.
On a separate note: Conservancy has created [members-discuss], a new discussion list for cross-project issues, like this one. You can register here:
https://lists.sfconservancy.org/mailman/listinfo/members-discuss
Conservancy will still use the [project-reps] mailing list to send out org-wide announcements to all of our Projects. But, if you'd like to participate in discussions with your sister Projects, feel free to join and post to the [members-discuss] list.
Thanks! Best, -Tony
