The reason the process is stalled is not that we don't have experience. (E.g. using a static btc address to receive payments is IMO bad, better use individual adresses)
And it's also not about whether we should accept bitcoin or not. It's about issues like keeping balances in BTC vs instantly converting it to fiat money.
In the end it's up to the TOs to set up the processes and then to the project, if we want to use those services or not.
So far only debian.ch does accept btc by instantly converting it to fiat but hasn't advertised it much so far.
