It's convenient enough for me. That paragraph contains a link to http://www.ffis.de/Verein/spi-en.html. All numbers that you would ever need are mentioned there. Sure, a page where you just leave your credit card number and specify an amount of money would be easier. But now you just take the info presented there and go to your own bank and transfer money like you always do - via their Internet site or fill out a paper form or visit their office or whatever. The bank account for the FFIS is in Germany, so when you are outside of that country you may need another form than you are used to. But in most cases the IBAN number mentioned should be sufficient. Not too difficult I would say. I did it some time (too long... :-/) ago without a problem. Like mentioned on the page I emailed Martin Schulze that money was on its way and he mailed back some time later that it had been received. It works just fine as far as I'm concerned. I'm from the Netherlands. Banking systems across the world are probably quite different, so your mileage may vary. If someone knows another way - next to the current one - to donate that may be more convenient for other people so more money comes in, that would be wonderful.
