Now it would be nice if the website could get fixed (
http://www.pdxvelo.org/ ).
I and many others have been trying to pledge "support" (ie $$) for the past
3 years to NO avail. Actually this email is very deja vu several times
over.
I am assuming the "show the support" would be well past a critical point if
the website would work or if someone would be tracking this... ?
If help is needed, ask, as we have seen there a lot of talented obra people
out there.
