SPI does not have the bandwidth to develop custom landing pages for
every project that they sponsor. IE: When I initially asked about it,
they proposed doing something like Postgres was doing, so I will be
focusing my efforts on getting a page written to be hosted on www.d.o,
that uses UsaEpay.

I have spoken to treasurer@SPI on IRC about UsaEpay API key and
forwarded requested information on via email. Awaiting reply. In the
mean time I will work on an HTML draft for an updated donations page.
As am aside, Debian.ch, our Trusted Org in Switzerland, does have a
Paypal account, that can currently accept global donations from most
countries that allow Paypal. However, donations from US citizens are
likely not tax-deductible, so I am working with SPI to explore Paypal
donations through SPI. (In my mind it would be one of a handful of
allowed payment methods.)
