As a reference, I suggest to have a look at the PostgreSQL donation
page:
http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate/
for a couple of reasons:
1) they are a SPI affiliated project as we are, but they did work with
SPI to actually have a nicer donation interface. I've never checked
with SPI what's needed to have that, but that's evidently possible
2) as a bonus point to the above: their donation UI is PostgreSQL
*only*. I think it's a major problem for Debian donations that when
donating via the standard click & pledge interface the user get
"offered" to donate to many other FOSS projects
3) they have a nice choice of Europe vs US donation option. For Europe,
if that's fine with Joey, we might simply set up a Paypal account (as
Postgres did) from which we will make bank transfer to FFIS bank
account, as needed.
HTH,
Cheers.
