It communicates the importance of the gesture. About how to do so: both announcing every donation in ML and listing all donors in one place sound good to me. This could also have an emulation effect. Sometimes a person could refrain for donating a small amount thinking that it doesn't have an impact after all, but also small donations are important. Not to mention the fact that they contribute to build a positive image of the software value within the community. My 2 eurocents, -- Margherita Di Leo
