+<NAME>We are able to accept donations again. Fundraiser announcement</NAME>
+<DATE>Jan. 3rd, 2007</DATE>

+<body>
+<p>Some time ago PayPal approached us and told us that we could no longer
+use their system to accept donations. It was a precedent, which was 
+even highlighted on Slashdot. But as you may imagine, it could potentially put many 
+projects into a very unpleasant situation.</p>
+
+<p>Fortunately, thanks to the very good folks at <a href="http://sourceforge.net">
+SourceForge</a> we now have this issue resolved. They were able to help negotiate
+an  exception with PayPal, allowing us to continue to accept PayPal donations
+via SourceForge.
+</p>
+
+<p>This all means that now we are able to accept donations again via the
+<a href="http://sourceforge.net/donate/index.php?group_id=37116">SourceForge
+donation system</a> which uses PayPal.</p>
+
+<p>We also would like to use this opportunity to announce a fundraiser. As you may
+know, we are widely using Interactive Disassembler from
+<a href="http://www.datarescue.com/idabase/index.htm">DataRescue</a>. So far most of us have
+been using the freeware version, but it has many serious limitations (which
+obviously makes it free). We conducted negotiations with DataRescue and received a very
+generous discount. We would really like to buy 5 IDA Pro licenses for several key
+Team developers who will be able to use it at full extent. So if you would really like
+to see the project going steady and support for even more games added, consider
+to donating a couple of dollars or Euros.</p>
+
+<p>Our target is $950 US dollars and whilst this no small goal, taking into 
+account more that 2,5 millions downloads, 15,000+ web visitors per day and almost 5,400 
+registered forum users we feel that it is very achievable.
+Please, use the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/donate/index.php?group_id=37116">SourceForge
+donation system</a> to make your donations.
+</p>
