For example we would get $47,75 instead of $50,00.
That's not good.
It seems that these payments are not marked as a donation.
I would like to send back the money. And create a new button which is donation and not payment.
What do you think?
Any news from the official maemo.org paypal account?

Would it mean those that have donated already would have to send twice, would be an extra paypal fee for them? Thats bad.
How many have donated so far? 3 i think..? If we're charged to send it again I dont mind topping mine up to the $50 again, it might be a bit unfair expecting others to do so too. If they send it again we might be lucky
But if it's just a few this would be the time to update it at the beginning before more come in. I think it it gets the tracker working it'd be worth it as it's more transparent and everyone can see their donation going in and how we're doing in total.No word on the official maemo.org paypal account, it could be a while if it ever comes..

sending the money back wouldn't cost any fees. Also I haven't accepted the money yet, so there aren't any fees to pay.
But if I would accept the money we would have to pay fees.
I have to accept the money to update the widget.
My solution would be a official maemo.org developers fund (paypal account) where everyone can donate.
Donations don't need to pay the fee.
It seems, that the chipIn page transfers the money as payments and not as donations.

zehjotkah, either make a donation button or have people send the money as a 'gift' then paypal wont charge fees
But I would like to have an official maemo.org paypal accout, so it can be used for other purposes, too.
edit: I've sended back the donations.
Please don't use the chipIn site anymore.
edit2: I've ended the chipin, so it can't be used anymore.
I will send texrat a PM.

I've removed the chipin link from the first post for the time being, just in case.. edit: and wiki
An official maemo.org paypal account would be the best solution, however at the moment there is no such thing. I think Texrat has pushed for one before and will try to do so again, in the meantime I guess we need a solution for now.
Shall we try out the donation button idea?
Edit: I just got the emails from paypal and chipin saying my donation was returned

Hi Randy!
Could you please take a look into the maemo coding competition thread?
Is it possible to make a maemo.org paypal account for donations and so on?
I would offer myself as as the treasurer, if needed.
Thanks.
Cosimo

Its great that you prolonged the competition deadline, 1 month seemed really too short to me to create anything useful.
It can take quite a long time to reach the extras quality. And I'm not sure how much time can the testing process take, but surely its not very quick. Someone also mentioned here that the apps don't have to be perfect, which is in contradiction to this.
As I'm not familiar with the extras promotion process, I don't dare to make any suggestions, but I think it should be clearly stated in the rules.
I want to participate too with my own application, a filemanager. Yeah, boring... But the default FM is a joke and its surprising that there are no real alternatives for such a crucial tool. I hope I can make something usable till the deadline, won't be easy with my limited time..

also your app is in -testing, so not released yet.

a good filemanager could be the winner in the Utillities category...
