I recently attempted to donate to Joomla! and encountered an error.  The PayPal payment page said there is a problem with the seller's email address and no payments can be made.  Just an FYI, and I didn't know whereelse to submit this information.

Any updates on the current donation status vs what was budgeted for 2006?
Or will the Financials be updated only every 3 months, as it looks?
Looking at current income and projected expenses for SF, it doesn't look so good..?
I don't understand why there's nothing from the G-ads.. if it stays at less than $1 per 3 months, might as well remove these!

Joe I undertand that the google ads are bringing in a good income (unlike donations) and that full updated financial reports and an updated budget will be published shortly after the LinuxWordld expo in SF next week

So, do you get revenue from the ads just for click throughs?  Or do users have to sign up or purchase to receive revenue?
