Hi Tony,
In fact, Inkscape is in process of replacing the website entirely, with an upgraded design. The ETA for that switchover I believe is a couple weeks.
For the current site, I'm not sure we still have ssh access to the machine it's hosted on (I gather the person who owns the hardware the site runs on has been inactive.) Anyway, I believe an issue is that no one can edit the current site. Maybe someone who knows more about it can fill us in?
Anyway, I believe this is the hold up. If you feel it is extremely urgent, maybe we can look at moving up the switchover date. Otherwise, I'd like to see things proceed as scheduled, to avoid errors from rushing things.

Hi, all: I note that you still have a Google Checkout link on the Inkscape website (specifically, on your "Donate to Inkscape" page).
As was announced a few weeks ago, Google is sunsetting their Google Checkout service as of tomorrow (November 20) [1]. To avoid creating problems for your donors (and for Conservancy), I ask that you please remove any Google Checkout links from your website immediately.
Thanks! Best, -Tony
