Recently, addons.mozilla.org added the possibility to show a donations
button on the main addons page. I've enabled this button and already a
few people have donated! First of all, I would like to thank those
that have donated, I really appreciate it!

The provider has been a lot of work, figuring out the peculiarities of
the API, making sure that Lightning and Sunbird both work well with
the provider and also trying to keep users satisfied. While the
releases of the Provider may have not been so often, I have also spent
a lot of time improving Lightning and Sunbird to allow supporting more
features of Google Calendar. The most prominent example of this is the
multiple alarm support. The patch was over 300 kB large and also
needed a few regression fixes. While this is not available in the
latest stable version of Lightning (0.9), support for multiple alarms
will be part of the next release. This also opened the door for SMS
reminders which are also supported in the latest nightlies.

If you use the provider regularly, please do consider donating a small
amount to honor the hard work I have invested. The suggested amount of
donation is $10, but any amount is fine, maybe its worth even more to
you :-) I will be putting the money in a separate bank account and let
it accumulate until I find an adequate use for it.

So, head on over to the addons page and let me know you appreciate my
work. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

please update here the links so i do not have to search for the donate button;-)

I really love your Add-On and will donate some bucks right now.

(I am sure you will be able to fix the 1.0.1 issues - and i can only recommend other people to spent some donations as well)

Best,
René

I tried donating however after clicking submit the popup shows that Paypal is connecting then it dissappears. Have even tried logging in first.

Looks like a bug in Firefox or a conflict with one of my add-ons.

Hi there - can you edit this First Post to just have a direct link to your preferred payment method of choice? I use script blockers to prevent cross-site scripting, so the mozilla.org page is unable to send me to your Paypal (or whatever you use) site. If you just put the site here directly as a link, that would make it easier to donate.

I don't think I can edit the first post since its fairly old. I do actually use paypal, I'd prefer to receive them directly though the addons site though. I'll send you an email with my paypal email address.

The addons site doesn't work for me. Please send me your paypal email address too.

For future reference, the current link to this addon is: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/provider-for-google-calendar/

I tried to make a contribution, but for some reason PayPal didn't like my card. :-(

10$ sent by paypal.. I'm hoping at some point you can solve the problem of importing invites directly into a Google calendar. Or at least, and import to a local calendar with a manual transfer to the Google calendar.

It imports emailed invites directly into my Google calendar. No manual processing needed. Provider 3.3 with Thunderbird 45.8.0 and Ubuntu 16.04.

If you update link on the OP, it'll make easier for people to donate!

Thank you
