RationalWiki's 2019 Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff – we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

If everyone who saw this today donated $5, we would meet our goal for 2019.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Donations so far: $3220Goal: $6000

I made an OpenSearch plugin for Conservapedia. I don't know how to package it so that Firefox can install it in one click, but with Firefox 3 on Linux, at least, you can copy this XML code into a file called ~/.mozilla/firefox/hsomething.default/searchplugins/conservapedia.xml and it will just start working.

Conservapedia serves its own version of this XML from http://www.conservapedia.com/opensearch_desc.php, but its version is broken because the favicon (which is supposed to be a base64-encoded 16x16 PNG image) is actually a base64-encoded HTML file. This confuses Firefox pretty bad. Also, my version takes you to Special:Recentchanges if you don't enter anything in the search box.

If anyone knows how to make this a one-click install, I'd like to hear about it on my talk page. The icon is slightly crappy, too; got a better one?
