Hello all,

recently I visited the freenet project and came across the following page

http://freenetproject.org/index.php?page=donations

I remembered that several people asked for an easy way to spend money to 
boost development (e.g. http://dot.kde.org/999851854/) and thought to myself 
that this might be interesting for KDE as well. 

In particular I like the transperent way all this is handled: the current 
balance, the recent donations and what the money was used for are all listed 
on the web page. Also "paypal" made a good impression on me (though I have 
not used it up to now).

Considering that KDE is _extremly_ popular this should work for KDE too. One 
could also think about giving the donator a vote where the money should be 
spend on (something like: multimedia, pim, koffice, kdevelop etc.). Details 
have to be worked out before of course.

What do others think about this? Is it worth investigating?

ciao, Marco
