Answers.Text: Thanks Alan. I will be in touch via your form to see what needs to happen, and will probably inquire as to whether Moneris is negotiable.

Body: <p>I have a US-based org that is exploring using Moneris with a CiviCRM contribution page. The core Moneris payment processor seems a little rough -- is anyone using it/does it work? The <a href="http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Moneris+Configuration+Guide" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Wiki page for Moneris configuration</a> mentions changes to the mpgClasses.php file but the link to the patch is non-existent. Are the required changes documented anywhere else?</p>
  
  <p>I also notice there is a newer "<a href="https://github.com/adixon/ca.civicrm.moneris" rel="nofollow noreferrer">replacement version</a>" of the core files in process (by <a href="https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/users/233/alan-dixon">Alan Dixon</a>), but apparently <a href="https://github.com/adixon/ca.civicrm.moneris/issues/1#issuecomment-88291427" rel="nofollow noreferrer">recurring is still "fragile" and it is not working for the US</a> (yet).

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2015-04-23)
  
  I have a US-based org that is exploring using Moneris with a CiviCRM contribution page. The core Moneris payment processor seems a little rough -- is anyone using it/does it work? The [Wiki page for Moneris configuration](http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Moneris+Configuration+Guide) mentions changes to the mpgClasses.php file but the link to the patch is non-existent. Are the required changes documented anywhere else?
  
  I also notice there is a newer "[replacement version](https://github.com/adixon/ca.civicrm.moneris)" of the core files in process (by [username_2](https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/users/233/username_2-username_2)), but apparently [recurring is still "fragile" and it is not working for the US](https://github.com/adixon/ca.civicrm.moneris/issues/1#issuecomment-88291427) (yet). Will this version end up in core?

  There is a discussion within the group about payment processors and the future. We are encouraging any new development to happen outside of core and in an extension.
