The Wikispaces hick up

After putting a lot of work into our wiki, we of course wanted to make it public. But there was a little hick up. Wikispaces wants you to pay one dollar to make it possible for the world to see -and judge- your work. The obstacle is not paying the one dollar. Rather the fact that the only payment option is connecting one's credit card to Google Wallet. Google Wallet aims to rival electronic payment services like Paypal and it is understandable that a person might feel uncomfortable giving the credit card information to a service that could be a high priority target for hackers due to the young age of the service. So, if you do not trust Google Wallet or do not have a credit card you are not able to publish your wiki. In order to go around that problem I will look into finding a similar webtool like Wikispaces, that does not use the same method.
