Icy Phoenix

Hi Lopalong,
please note that I'm not requiring any data before donating.

I guess those data are required by PayPal, and I have no control on what they need to process payments.

If you wish we can find an agreement privately on how to donate without having to "fight" with PayPal rules.

Thanks for your support though.


Finally regarding "DONORS" I took that word from a MOD I have translated into Italian... I prefer using donator, but I thought DONORS was more appropriate. I'll use donators from now on, thanks for pointing that out!

If my english is right... there is standing "a valid" and NOT "your valid"

So, decide by yourself

Like everywhere in internet... you don't have to put your right informations there, if you don't trust him/her

Hi guys,
the fund raising ended up with a total amount of 350 euros.

I will donate 40 euros for Haiti: can someone please provide one or more good initiative to donate money for this cause?

Remaining budget (which will be increased by myself with other 200 euros!) will be used to pay the audit and a small advisor service which I'm currently using to improve Icy Phoenix code and my PHP skills.

Just to keep you updated on the overall process, I have reviewed most of the code in order to make Icy Phoenix using UTF-8 encoding (this will improve compatibility with all languages charsets) and in order to ensure a proper (and more secure) data handling through HTTP requests.

The process is still far to be completed, because almost all files have been changed, and after I have finished with all the edits, I will need to debug the full package again (and I will need users help for that!).

The bad news is that still a lot of work is required. The good news is that this great amount of work allowed me to review and fix some old code which was not efficient or badly written...

Thank you very much to everyone who is contributing to this project either by donation or supporting users.

Thanks.

Luca

Please insert me in the Special Group

It is a great idea to speed up things.
Thanks Luca

housefull, please don't spam!

I have searched the web to find the best way to donate for Haiti, and I just discovered that is tough to choose the right charity organization.

I have found really useful this link:

http://www.charitynavigator.org/ind....view&cpid=1004

And that is why I am going to donate to an organization which is international.

I have choosen this organization which is well established:

http://doctorswithoutborders.org/

I will donate today.

Thank you all.

Just to confirm that I donated € 40 to MSF (Doctors Without Borders) two weeks ago.

Regarding the code audit, I have finally almost finished the fixes for the possible vulnerabilities and UTF-8 conversion.

I still need to debug the package to make sure new edits didn't break anything of the old working things.

A big thank you to The Steffen for helping in the debug process so far.

If someone else would like to help (it requires a lot of time...), please contact me via PM.

Thanks,
Luca

Why not write test ?
