[pmwiki-users] Petko's E2100/US$2, 963 bid for WYSIWYG capability

[Philipp Kazakow]

Hello!

I'm ready to donate around 40-50$, but I really do not know how to do it.
Here in Russia we do not have PayPal. Is there any way to donate via Visa
Classic card? Or probably make a transfer via Western
Union<http://www.westernunion.ru>?


Finar.
