Hi Micheal, all,

Since the zim paypal account has been slowly accumulating more
donations I will add 100 Euro to that from the donation fund. Shall I
add it to the bounty list on http://zim-wiki.org/contribute.html ?

Btw. also thinking to up the other two open bounties to 100.

Regards,

Jaap


P.S. as you may have noted, I'm back online and sorting through my
email - sorting through the new bug reports will take some more time
I'm afraid...
