Hi everyone,
Tens of thousands of users visit the Unofficial Documentation. Now FichteFoll and I want to make it better. And we have a plan. 
Please tell your friends and all Sublime Text fans you know, and help us spread the word!

Great project and I would like to support it! But I donât really want to sign up for another platform just for one thing (they ask me to sign up even when I say "log in with github). Is there a way to support the project without going through bountysource (e.g. paypal account)?
Thanks a lot for the encouragement!
The BountySource team have been very responsive (kudos to them!) and theyâve tried to fix the problem.
Gregor, Itâd be great if you could try again and confirm itâs working. As a project owner, itâs hard for me to see if the process is the same as for a regular user.
If the problem persists, however, weâll set up an alternative payment option.
Yes, I understand. It still doesnât seem to work for me. Happy to try again though. Here is what I am doing:
Pledge Now -> enter pledge amount -> select paypal -> click on Checkout -> on screen âSign in or create an accountâ, click github -> confirm on github page -> Now I am back on âSign in or create an account, Complete the fields below to sign up for Bountysourceâ
So it looks like I have to sign up for a separate account despite clicking on githubâŚ

No payment option is the best way to be clear from the beginning.Is out of range $4000 without justification.Is the first time i see this "support"in the web.

Agreed, but the Sublime community has always been a bit lame and the company has no interest in providing, well, finished products.

I donât get where you come from calling the community lame. There are many of us who only come to these threads to try to answer questions and give help. Some of the most useful resources are provided by the community. What is âlameâ is the people who obviously only come to the threads to troll. They find out what the current hot button is on the threads and post âfeature xxx is broken for meâ. Then when we ask for more information, they leave the thread and never respond.
As for the other, thatâs a matter of perception. Am I frustrated with the apparent glacial pace of SublimeText development? Would I love it if SublmeText 3 were released tomorrow? Heck yeah. If only so people would stop complaining. But then theyâd probably just find something else to complain about.

(also I can monitor the threads I posted in now and donât need to check this thread separately)
That took longer than expected⌠Apparently BountySource require the creation of an account with them, so weâve set up an alternate payment option for those of you who prefer not to.

Where is the alternate pay method? I either have to set up an account with this Bounty thing or sign in with âsocial mediaâ crap. I donât do social. I have a paypal account. I have a Kickstarter account. I donât need lots of other accounts. Please make it easy to donate directly.
Hi rbl100,
In the fundraiserâs main page, thereâs now a link to a Pledgie campaign under âOther Payment Optionsâ that should let you donate using only your PayPal account (perhaps you need to refresh your browserâs cache?). Later on there will be plain PayPal and Gittip options for one-off and continued support of the Unofficial Docs, but for this fundraiser we want the collected amount to be visible for everyone, and thatâs what BountySource and Pledgie enable us to do.
That would not be a problem if they would actually use the freakin data that they get back from github!

For some reason they think iâm registering with another service just to start filling a new form? 
(on the other hand, pledgie worked just fine. Click, click, done.)*

OK, done. Hope it helps.

How?
Ha! Iâve posted in four threads and apparently killed all four.
Um, sorry about this threadâŚ
Donât worry, Iâve killed far more than that.
Weâre still only 16% into our goal. We will work on the issues even if the fundraiser does not raise the full amount, but it will take longer. Tell your friends and consider donating $5 yourself. Those tens of thousands of readers could easily reach 4000 by donating less than half a dollar, but that wonât be enough for eventual fees and the minimum is $5 anyway.
