Dear Bastien, you might consider to add a Flattr account for org-mode too.As far as I understood Flattr is a micorpayment system on a monthly base. People donate a monthly sum and this will be shared by the projects they marked (by click on a clever placed icon) over a month period. I believe this heavily lower the resistance to place a donation, people think "Since I spend the money every month why not donating to org-mode", which is quite different to "Ohh paypal, I need to pull out my credit card and enter all my credentials, wait is it save, wait should I do it now, wait will my spouse punish me for throwing out money again for my crazy interests" ;)
I guess the idea is to place those icons at places where people just got very happy about org-mode... maybe the manual section, or Worg, video tutorial page, etc.

Dear all, as you know, some of us will meet this saturday at FOSDEM. It will be great to meet IRL, to discuss Org past, present and future -- I really can't wait for that! Everyone on this list already contributes with code, patches, feedback, tests, ideas and... patience with the new maintainer. And I guess Everyone at FOSDEM will express his gratitude to Carsten for all the work he did and continues doing. But... what about expressing this gratitude as a *GIFT*? What about taking 10 minutes of your time and make a donation? *Every donation* made from now until sunday evening will go to Carsten. Please go to http://orgmode.org and say thanks :) Let's show the FOSDEM crowd that fun& fame are not the only rewards that such an effort deserves :) Thanks!!
