Hey there,
Way back when, I started a thread in the d.o webmaster queue about integrating some sort of donation framework within Drupal.org. The general idea had a bit of support, but reasonable arguments were presented for the ROI not being great enough.
And then I came across Flattr not too long ago, and thought it might fill the niche, so I updated the issue in the webmaster's queue:
http://drupal.org/node/719648#comment-3939672
Anyhow, I know that you guys (the maintainers) are active Drupal contributors, and so you've probably toyed with this idea already, but I just wanted to toss in my two cents :)
So does anyone think it might be viable? If you have any strong thoughts, it'd be amazing if you could post to the other issue!
Cheers

dawehnerI hope it's okay to mark this issue postponed of the other one.
Once a decision for the drupal.org module was found we could work here.

patcon CreditAttribution: patcon commentedNo worries. Not sure whether attaching the suggestion to an old issue was such a great idea -- not seeing much interest compared to prior discussion.
Anyhow, just have to wait I suppose.
