-- If I thought there was a donation of a few thousand dollars
   iminent, then I would scramble to the FSF or wherever to
   see if they could act as a conduit.  But for the occasionly $20,
   its not worth it, to us or to them.

-- If the FSF or gnome foundation or whomever had a set of
   ready-to-go web scripts that implemented a mandrake-club-like
   infrastructure then, yes I'd go for that, that would be great.

Note to cbbrowne: maybe there's already a sourceforge project
for creating this kind of web infrasturture? Some phpNukularTipJar ?

As cbbrowne points out, a $10 tax-deductible donation is about the 
same as $7 gift. So just just gift $7 instead of donating $10.
