Apologies for the inconvenience with the Google Checkout not working yesterday.
Online memberships are available once again, with payments via PayPal (it also accepts credit card):
http://wikidc.org/wiki/Membership
I'm checking with PayPal to make sure if / how we can also have a donate button of some kind, given we're not yet a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Cheers, Katie

We have setup online payments via Google Checkout so that you can join Wikimedia DC online at http://join.wikidc.org (We are integrating it into the wiki soon)
Clicking on the donate linkhttps://checkout.google.com/api/checkout/v2/checkoutForm/Merchant/334897480085960results in "Unfortunately, this merchant no longer accepts payments through Google. We apologize for the inconvenience".
I totally apologize for this! :( I just logged in and saw that! Google doesn't want us to have a donate button yet, until we have official IRS 501(c)(3) status. I'm trying to resolve this, but Google Checkout has no phone support!
Give me a little time to also get our PayPal payment method up asap.
Cheers, Katie
