Let's kick off this salon with a monthly "what's up?" thread.

So, what's up? Well, the Liberapay non-profit organization has been created and registered (liberapay/liberapay.org#1 and liberapay/liberapay.org#2), and a bank account has been opened for it (liberapay/liberapay.org#3). We have terms of service for Liberapay (liberapay/liberapay.org#4), and the procedure to get a MangoPay account has been started (liberapay/liberapay.org#5).

We still need a phone number (liberapay/liberapay.org#6) but it's not a priority until we've actually launched.

If the MangoPay registration goes well then we'll soon be legally ready to launch. In the meantime there are plenty of things to fix and improve, and a lot of strings to translate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :-)

I read How I Stumbled Upon The Internet’s Biggest Blind Spot and tweeted it. (Found it in gratipay/inside.gratipay.com#405 (comment))

I've created accounts for Liberapay on: CloudFlare (and pointed liberapay.com to their DNS servers), OpenShift, and Firefox Sync (in case we want to share the passwords between admins someday).

Mangopay has added idempotency to their API. I'm not sure we have a use for it, but it's a nice feature.

I've added Liberapay to http://fundingoss.com/.

I like her, I very much agree with what she's saying, and she even mentioned basic income. :-)

I think I'm going to need a bot to rotate these monthly threads. :D
