Hi, sorry for bringing up an old thread, but I see that PayPal is
still the only way to donate. Have developers considered using
Software in the Public Interest, Inc. (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.spi-inc.org">www.spi-inc.org</a>) as a
donation portal? It also acts as fiscal sponsor. I'm unsure whether
this is right for a project like Rkward, but I see some individual
applications being listed as beneficiaries. I just found out about
this project and thought it could be useful.<br>

I can totally understand your reluctance to use PayPal. However, at the
moment, it's the only option that our host (sourceforge) supports. Perhaps it
will make sense to provide one more option in the future, but in fact, I
wouldn't know which one to pick. Any recommendations on a payment service that
is
- international / cross currency
- mostly fair
- widely in use?

pronounce Rkward. Most of them are pretty weird. For example, one claims
that it is supposed to go with an Australian accent playing on the word
awkward because most of us users are probably, well, awkward.

Well, as far as the pronounciation goes, that is the "correct" interpretation.
But you shouldn't go looking for any deeper meaning. When I first registered
the project, way back then, I simply did not spend a whole lot of time
thinking about a good name. I stuck to the constraint that the name should
contain the letters R and K. "Ark" and "Kross" were taken, already, and I
didn't think much beyond that. So that's how RKWard ended up with its awkward
name. I guess it's not the name that I would pick today, but I still sort of
like the self-referential aspect of it...

has the incredible hypothesis that you actually pronounce it Rkward, but
that is really awkward too. So... how to pronounce it?

<pre wrap="">
Actually, that pronounciation is totally fine with me, as well. Whatever you
feel is least (or most) awkward.
