Yay! Thanks Chris.

Now, everybody else:- please consider donating a few dollars/pounds/yen/euros/bolivars/escudos/whatevers. It goes towards supporting the servers that we rely upon to bring you Squeak. No money, no servers.

A "politically savvy challenge to evolution" is as self-evidently ridiculous as an agriculturally savvy challenge to euclidean geometry would be.

Contributions are always welcome, but we are not on the verge of
losing any servers.  We have an annoying expense we can get rid of by
moving remaining services off of box2 (onto box3 and box4).

Some of Edgar's FunSqueak work is on the ftp server in
ftp://ftp.squeak.org/various_images/FunSqueak/ and it would be good to
put a copy of FunSqueak4dot6-alpha.137921.0.zip there as well.

Even better would be if we can give Edgar write access to this directory
so that he can upload his FunSqueak images from time to time. I don't know
how access control works on ftp.squeak.org, but is it possible?

I decided that I should test our new Donate button on squeak.org. It turns
out that the easiest way to do this is to just make a donation. So I gave
it a try, making the payment through PayPal. It appears that the donation
went through to SFC, with our Squeak project identified as the source of
the contribution:

    Hello David Lewis,
    This email confirms that you have donated $20.00 USD to Software Freedom Conservancy using PayPal.
     
    This credit card transaction will appear on your bill as "PAYPAL *SF CNSRVNCY".
   
    -----------------------------------
    Donation Details
    -----------------------------------
   
    Confirmation number: 36N217491N221464B
    Donation amount: $20.00 USD
    Total: $20.00 USD
    Purpose: Squeak Project Donation via Software Freedom Conservancy, Inc.
    Reference: Squeak
    Contributor: David Lewis
   
    ----------------------------------------------------------------


I think that the "Squeak Project Donation" is a nice touch, since it lets
SFC know that we are alive and interested in helping them to support us.
Of course, more testing is always a good thing, so please do test the
donate button and report back if any problems are found. Better yet, try
to convince your neighbors, relatives, and former spouses to participate
in load testing by making large numbers of simultaneous donations at
some agreed time.

And spouses of former spouses.

Think of it this way; how about donating a dollar for each year you’ve used Squeak. Or even for each month? Or let’s get really radical and do a dollar for each day if you’ve released a money making product built on Squeak?
