</head><body text="#000000">There are two issues here the first is I get
the impression then that the instructions for submitting to OSMweekly
should read create your article then submit a link to it. You may use
you OSM blog etc to create an article. Could this be made a little
clearer? Submit a link to what?<br>
<br>
The second which is more aimed at the OSMF board or probably Dorothea is
the current instructions to make a donation cannot be followed as they
stand for everyone. The reference field is simply too short for many
users.<br>
<br>
It also needs clarifying should you put in your name as the instructions
currently say or your OSM username?<br>
<br>
The stupid question on names is which characters can be entered? This
is not trivial as many OSM usernames use characters outside Latin
Alphabet one.<br>
<br>
I think once the donation instructions are clarified and corrected then
that is the time to put something in OSMweekly.<br>

weeklyOSM had a mention that OSM now accepts donations via bank
transfer. What wasn't mentioned was for those of us who have a
transferwise account the transfer is free.<br>

<br>
The process is you do a normal transfer of £15 and ignore the fee. When
you put in the bank account details it recognises it is transferring to
a transferwise account and removes the fee.<br>
<br>
One problem is the length of the reference field<br>
<br>
"donation Johnwhelan" doesn't fit. "Don Johnwhelan" does so perhaps
change the instructions to "D osmuser name"? I assume it should be the
osmuser name not "<span
