I did and it worked. So, it is safe for everyone else to do it, too :) Doru On 15 Nov 2012, at 17:58, Damien Cassou <damien.cassou@gmail.com> wrote:

Well done getting all this up an running. Some minor feedback on the web site... 1. I would guess that one of the more important purposes of the site is that people sign up. So don't hide the signup and login buttons away from the the front page. There is room on the right hand side of the title bar. Once logged in these could change to the membername and logout button. 2. Paypal says the payment transaction will appear on my bank statement as "PayPal*ASSOCIATION". I guess that because the payment goes to "Association Pharo". It would be nicer if the payment when to "Pharo Association" so that my bank statement said "PayPal*PHARO" - but I don't expect you could change that. 3. When choosing subscription type, the term "_simple_ member" to distinguish from "premium member" feels a bit condescending and unnecessary. Just "member" on its own is enough to distinguish from "premium member". simple = *2. *A fool; a simpleton.[1] /b //(1)/ *:* stupid <http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stupid> /(2)/ *:* mentally retarded [2] [1] http://www.thefreedictionary.com/simple [2] http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/simple 4. Perhaps when members add contribution for display on the slide show, these could be added to the "What's new" sidebar. This might help increase the show of activity. As an aside, I love the name "Pharo" for the project but it is unfortunate that "Pharo" is such a widely used name with 3,000,000 unrealated results on google search, and "pharo.com" domain being used for other purposes. A tip for others making up new project names is to choose one with a small number of results on Google. A service like http://wordoid.com/ can help. Marcus Denker wrote:

Thanks for the feedback. Yes you are right :) This is why it is a beta :)

Thanks indeed this is not the point.
4. Perhaps when members add contribution for display on the slide show, these could be added to the "What's new" sidebar. This might help increase the show of activity.
Yes. In fact for version 2 (not 1.0) we want to offer a blog to each member and aggregating.
As an aside, I love the name "Pharo" for the project but it is unfortunate that "Pharo" is such a widely used name with 3,000,000 unrealated results on google search, and "pharo.com" domain being used for other purposes.

We checked google before when we decided and we love that name.

Thank you for your suggestions! I am making a list of what to improve and added them (the association pharo vs. pharo association one I think is not to fix sadly...) Marcus On Nov 16, 2012, at 4:50 AM, Ben Coman <btc@openInWorld.com> wrote:

Hi. I am trying to add a contribution to my user. I put the title, I upload a picture for the project, and I set the description, but when I press "accept" it hangs in "loading" (on the top right) and after a timeout I get: Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request *GET /web/members<http://association.pharo.org/web/members> *. Reason: *Error reading from remote server* ------------------------------ Apache/2.2.17 (Ubuntu) Server at association.pharo.org Port 80 On Fri, Nov 16, 2012 at 2:52 PM, Marcus Denker <marcus.denker@inria.fr>wrote:

Hello, For individuals, the way to support Pharo is not the consortium (as Inria can not handle small payments and especially no credit cards): http://association.pharo.org
Can this also be done for bulk payment for multiple membership, if I can convince a few more locally
