Good! Tell us what architecture we can use for that. I should find some time to build a association of loi 1901 and get a paypal account for pharo.
You should take a look at Flattr for donations.
I think the basics might be a good idea, but flattr just doesn't seem like a useful/viable choice to me. They're way too vague about how much of the money they keep, and it's really set up as a subscription service (last time I checked, anyway). It's just that you get to decide how you distribute your $x per month (as long as you stay on top of things and make that decision every month).
Also, in case some want to donate for specific feature, there are crowdfunding solutions like kickstarter.
Kickstarter sounds like it might be a *much* better choice for this sort of thing. I'm not sure how good it would be for on-going projects, though. e.g. "You paid $50 last month to have Geoffrey spend a month working on feature x. He estimates that he's 75% done. Will you spend $12.50 to let him spend another week on it?" Just my $0.02. -- James
