1. I would not mind if there was something like 5 year buffer. 2. If some how too much was collected there are other sites that I think all most anyone on this site would support (kurts w140.com/tekwiki/ ......) that the extra could be sent to 3. lots of stuff is sold through this site worded like "two left hand threaded calibration fittings for rare scope for the postage" first two direct emails gets it. So get a extra email post it with a note "first lucky 200 people can donate" and then send them the paypal info. With a little luck and the good nature of people on this site you should end up with good few years of funds. And that would be a pittance compared to the value of your time and effort of the moderators to moderate the site. And I think we could all feel good about that. John -----Original Message-----

Better to just use paypal. I agree. Mentioning on this email list is plenty to get donations to come in. Paypal can have problems too though. If you are paid, they take out some money even if you then refund it. People can choose gift or product usually when they send. There is a receiver generated donate button that can be done with a web site that needs some research. Here is an example of it: By turning that button on/off you could control over active donating completely. The person,(volunteer), in charge of that turn on/off function could do so by logging into the server the website is on, run a script to turn on, stay logged in, tell folks on the list, see donations reach enough to pay the bill, run a script to turn off, logout. When done by the fixed donation amount, any extra donations could be refunded so the amount is exact each year, making bookkeeping easy. |
