### AI overview

The ReactOS project's Donators page is operational again after an outage caused by a change in how donations were handled and the need for new software to generate the donation list. Updating the list now takes only a few clicks.

### Source excerpt

Donators page is back on track As of today, the Donators page which lists all monetary donations to the project is back on track. The long outage originated from the fact that all donations are handled by the German non-profit organization ReactOS Deutschland e.V. as of 2010. This change has required a new software for creating the donation list, which has needed some time to mature. Gladly, this long development time has paid off and updating the donation list is now just a matter of a few clicks.
