I personally like the pledgie buttons, which show the target amount and the
current raised amount, which is imho way better than simple "donate" paypal
button. People can see the progress and may be better motivated to
contribute ("oh look, they miss only couple thousand euros, ok, this
project seems to be important so I'll donate as well"). Also it needs to be
followed by a good/clear description what would people gain from donating
(aka "why should I donate").
