FAQs / [FAQ] Re: What is Wedge?

I tend to use html tables on a wiki. I like the html passthrough.
I'm not sure, either, how wikitable syntax is easier than HTML.
Either wikitable or HTML beats BBcode for tables. No styling, no padding, no margins = ugly BBcode tables.

I suppose that explains the lack of WYSIWYG support in wikimedia.
It's a shame. I've always enjoyed USING wiki formatting.
I've never worked my way through very much of the wiki code, though.

It's the season for miracles, isn't it?
You'll be happy to know that we are in contact with outside help, which should help us get the answers to one or two questions.

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardey got along famously, and entertained people together for years.
What a charming thought.

The wikimedia parser allows lots of html, some of it "sanitised".
One can nick the parser, if one's license is compatable, and avoid having to write it.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, guys. But you've never seen my angry eyes!
Of course the 501c3 filing has not been underway for 14 months. There was other stuff to get done.
It was nearly a year after Simple Machines was formed before it reached an agreement with the LLC on transferring assets.
But I'm pretty new over at Simple Machines, so I was not involved in that work.
We've been working on this since about August. And some of the pages take a lot longer to fill out than others.
And we will get outside help, I promise. We'll be fine.
Thanks, everyone, for your continued interest in the well-being of Simple Machines and the SMF project.

It is not scary. It is long. And it takes several re-readings to understand it all properly.
There are 12 pages to the form, then 8 associated schedules (some of which we need to fill out, but not all)
Then there will be maybe 5 pages of explanatory attachments, explaining our answers to many of the form's line items.
Starting with every single line item of a year's worth of income and expense, it is necessary to categorize appropriately in order to produce an appropriate statement of revenues and expenses. Then, it is necessary to place a value on all the server hardware in order to finish filling in the balance sheet. And the value of intangibles like domain names and trademarks.
And make sure you are using the correct dates for your "tax year". So we'll need legal help to complete this task.
It isn't scary. It just takes time.

Are you familiar with form 1023?

Yes -- the Software Freedom Law Center, for example, could probably offer us some advice.
It does still take time to put together all the information, and we are working on it.

Well, actually, we're not sitting on it. We're working through it. Slowly, admittedly. The Treasurer, the other members of the SM BOD, and the rest of the membership.
The work and discussions are done on boards the members of Simple Machines can see. (I try to keep public everything that can be allowed to be public).
I think I had actually forgotten that yourasoft had filed for 501(c)3 status. So thanks for reminding me.

I am sure he would be able to help.
There are some differences. The situation of Simple Machines is more complicated. More expenses, more domain names, more stuff, more moving parts, more history.

IRS form 1023 and its instructions (required to file or US 501(c)3 status) are a confusing read.
So the work is progressing very slowly, I admit.
