So, my pointer was mainly some "related work" for a list where we are
broadly discussing how to consolidate Debian fund raising in various
ways, including donations.

I think it is probably premature to implement this right away,
especially because I'd like to gather more opinions from the list
participants first. OTOH, it might be something as simple as adding a
link to the donation page and a sentence about it from the download
page. I don't particularly fancy shiny and "aggressive" banners to
encourage people to download, but it seems smart to simply *remind*
people that we live up on donation at the moment they decide to try out
the result of our work.

Feel free to keep this bug around for future thoughts, comment, or close
it, as you see fit.

Cheers.
