Donation
I am working as a full time server administrator and developer. Besides my job I have a kid and a wife which stresses me, when I am coding after my regular work - for free. Since this is an open source project, some issues can stay untouched for weeks or months. Even though I try to work on every issue as soon as possible.
For developing this extension I really do not charge anything. If you would like to support my work or want to give your issue a small boost feel free to donate any amount through PayPal or Bitcoin.
