in reply to Membership pledge drive
Great news from Kurt DeMaagd at YAS! He was listed as the financial contact on the YAS donations page, so I sent him a note. He gave me permission to post his reply here.

Excellent idea. We do track the donations, but that donation page is horribly out of date. Now all of the donations get grouped in with the general YAS donations. I could change the donation system to specifically track that. That would probably also address some of the concerns expressed in the discussion about giving to this faceless entity called YAS.
So, here's my counter-proposal. Give me a week to make some revisions to our system. Then we (and you) can specifically track the progress. Then next week we could go forward with your challenge.

Subject: perlmonks membership challenge proposal I'd like to offer US$250 for a perlmonks donation challenge. Originally I thought that this would be pretty simple, but <laughs at self> the page I thought was perlmonks donation history turned out to be something else entirely. (Look at http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=208057 for the details.) My idea was that if 10 or more people donated US$25 each to perlmonks by Oct 31, I'd donate US$250. Is there any way you can help me do this? If it works well, perhaps you could solicit other people to put up other challenges. If you aren't the right person to talk to, could you please forward this in the right direction? Thanks, - Ken
