Was there a strong reason not to include more info > directly on the donations page? As a reference, I suggest to have a look at the PostgreSQL donation page: http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate/ for a couple of reasons: 1) they are a SPI affiliated project as we are, but they did work with SPI to actually have a nicer donation interface. I've never checked with SPI what's needed to have that, but that's evidently possible 2) as a bonus point to the above: their donation UI is PostgreSQL *only*. I think it's a major problem for Debian donations that when donating via the standard click & pledge interface the user get "offered" to donate to many other FOSS projects 3) they have a nice choice of Europe vs US donation option. For Europe, if that's fine with Joey, we might simply set up a Paypal account (as Postgres did) from which we will make bank transfer to FFIS bank account, as needed.
