Obviously this is not obvious enough. Maybe it's time for banner or column ads (for internal purposes only) on Squeak.org?

Gentlefolks,
I just returned from www.stellarium.org, they (like many other free open source projects) have a "support this project" button for people who want to donate money to the project.
I'd like to suggest that the various Squeak projects have their own "support this project" button. This perhaps makes it easier for interested parties to donate some money. Many people (like me) don't want to buy a piece of supermarket, but rather just some groceries for their mouse :)
Donations to projects can be used for (for example) representing projects at events, buying hardware for the developers, printing CDs or documentation, and other related marketing activities which require money in support of visibility.
And of course regular transfers can be made from a project's funds in support of the more general activities (community server, etc).
What do you think?
