[Board] Home stretch update...

[Tim Schaub]

Thanks for all the work on this.

What do projects that were using the old PayPal setup need to do?  I
notice that the old PayPal donate buttons no longer go to an OSGeo
donation page.  OpenLayers also has a donor that was setup to
auto-donate to the PayPal account.

Thanks for any additional detail.

Tim
