We're (really really) nearly there!
Kia ora team, while we had hoped to have everything ready by Monday this week for sign-ups, we’re not quite there yet.
The eagle-eyed early birds will have noticed some projects on the new site over the last week but we still had some issues on the site which we’ve been focused on fixing so we weren’t really open for sign-ups outside of Taranaki. These are mostly sorted now, so we’re just finishing loading up the projects - we are still waiting on one more thing to be finished on the website, which I’m hoping will be today or tomorrow - then we’ll be able to share the link for signups with everyone :)
I feel bad about not sharing the sign up link wider yet, knowing that some of our amazing community are already there and registered, but while having hundreds of us on there now when things aren’t 100% working properly is manageable, having thousands on there won’t be :o
Thank you again for being patient, and don’t worry - you’ll have plenty of time to get your koha ready and where it needs to be - one of the coolest things about our new platform is that we can specify the drop-off dates that work for each school or service, so many of these are later and closer to Christmas than we’ve had in previous years :)
PS if you know someone who has been asking about drop-offs, please feel free to share this with them - the downside of having so many people on the mailing list means our emails like this one are more likely to go into the junk/spam folder for some of our community of gifters.
Have an awesome week, I’ll be in touch again in the next couple of days.
