I know this has been discussed before in a long time ago, but what stopped neo900 from using the likes of kickstarter or indiegogo? I just want clarification. Because kickstarter or indiegogo would allow worldwide donations, and more publicity at that.
I prefer an own-spun crowdfunding/preorder system, even if it is a bit hazzle to set up and maintain.

Chaps,
On behalf of those of us who would be keen to buy a neo900 but didn't & don't have funds to put towards a sometime maybe poduct, could I ask you to start a new announce thread when there is a concrete new structure and plan in place? I'd like to know if/when things are back on track, but really don't need to know the ins and outs of refunds etc.

Seems like the idea about transfering refunds directly to the Neo900 UG account might not work (not allowed) for the 50% of CC donations we received. We can check details only on Monday. Stay tuned, we're working on it!
[edit]
I wonder if it maybe would be feasible for those donors using CreditCard to change their order on Golden Delicious customer website. From "Neo900 donation" to "THANK-YOU certificate with your personal member ID in neo900-lovers club, hand-signed by Joerg" (or whatever, we even could ship T-shirts
and the VIPclub-ID ). Then maybe GDC could buy those cerificates (and T-shirts) at UG and ship them to the customers.
[/edit]
cheers

Let's hope the new donation method is worldwide and will be available within the next 2 weeks when I'm available. I really really need this to happen (the neo900 
)

I've heard about the credit card refund before joerg. In UK, AFAIK, any refund on cc needs to go back to the originating account. we couldn't offer cash alternative, can't remember if credit note for store was an option. its a anti-fraud thing. imagine the problems if your ex girlfriend went and returned all your expensive gadgets and diverted cash/refund to her account.

If i understand right goldelico wanted that joerg's work to be passed to them to have the power to make all the "shots" , and that's why all the mess with the neo900?
sorry for off-topic

You are right, Not sure what thread that would be. Why I ask? Two reason. 1. I think its should be obvious to everyone who is/has moderator rights. 2. My personal opinion is that no one should have to much power ( council and moderator). Same goes in real life. Dont like when one man is jury, judge and excisioner.
sorry for off-topic

there's no use in doing such speculations. We had a continuous discussion process about organization of Neo900 project during last almost 3 months, we realized that we messed up a few 'minor' details in the very beginning - thanks to rushing the setup of the organizational structure resp the concept - and there been a lot of ideas how to fix that which got tossed around and finally got rejected because something wasn't right / didn't work with them, or tax advisors told us "that can't get done" (even for ideas the same tax advisors suggested a 4 weeks earlier)
