We've made the total of £2500 and Shen will go to BSD.  I'd like to thank those people who have given.

What happens next is that the web site will be updated and Shen will be upgraded to Shen 17. In detail

*  the link to the public wiki will go on the index page and all the main pages of the site.  

*  a number of bugs reported by Bruno over Xmas will be fixed; there are a few changes I need to make

*  the source->KL program will be upgraded to work with the current Shen and made publicly usable

*  a form based submission to the standard library will be created

*  the license goes to BSD

This will take about two weeks and in meantime the current license still applies;  so sit tight while these changes are made.

As most of you probably know, The original target was £8500 and this would have funded much additional development work on Shen beyond the BSD.   So further development work by me beyond the spec will be funded on a per basis.  For myself,  I'm using the time and money to develop my online teaching presence.  A number of loyal subscribers are paying monthly donations and I'd like to thank them because this pays for moderation (= spam protection really,  I pass nearly everything) and maintenance of the Shen source and site.  I'm looking for more substantial ways to reward them other than thanks.

So for the rest of Shenturians, a Happy New Year and here's to 2015.
