Breakthrough
Today is our official launch, except, well, we haven't launched. In fairness, it was always going to be a soft launch, with a further three week period for testing and special guest sign-ups, but the fact remains that we haven't managed it!The problems have stemmed from the donation gateway. To join the project all new members need to make a very small donation to one of our five partner charities. These charities are all international in nature, and cover some of the most important concerns facing our society today. At the last minute on Friday I was let down by our chosen payment gateway provider. Our backup plan swung into action, but that put us five weeks behind.
I've spent the last three days frantically searching for a quicker solution. It's been the usual think-outside-the-box stuff, looking at every possible alternative. Now I think Ive found it.
I've just had a chat with the MD of a company based here in the UK who has a possible solution. Fingers crossed well be able to reach a deal tomorrow, and all being well the gateway will be operational by mid next week. If that's the case, our new launch date will be June 12, just 12 days behind schedule. That's not bad, considering the technology weve developed to power this thing.
