Why are we doing this?

* To recoupe some basic expenses and to keep the opensource (and free) nature of the core CB suite going.
* To provide some means (and motivation) for the community to support these efforts
* To assist "in a hurry" users to get up to speed with CB features

Where can you get this?

To subscribe to this yearly (current calendar year) service (which costs 25 € ~ 32 USD) all you need to do is:

* If you are not a member then all you need to do is register and at the end of the registration page just chose the documentation subscription and click on the register and then pay now buttons. Once payment completed, you will get instant download access.
* If you are already a member, visit your profile on this site and click on the Subscription tab in your profile. Click on the radio field and follow the workflow through paypal.
