nothing happened because no one would put together a formalized set of
requirements and then achieved signoff on it.  now you've effectively
side-stepped those steps, the same sort of thing i've caught hell for in the
past.

this can be easily done on weo where it can be tied into the user system.

letting a user setup recurring donations that are handled by paypal's
recurring payments system.

what about authentication?

will the user need to setup *another* user account?

why a separate domain for such a small application?

is this trend of fragmenting our public-facing applications going to
continue?  you know that's a very bad idea, right?

then let's put it on weo where it belongs.
