I don't see the Flattr button. Maybe I have to wait for the next publishing?

 Hi folks,

 I've been aware of Flattr since it was out.  After careful thinking, I
 placed a flattr button on Org's landing page, near the paypal button:

  http://orgmode.org

 The nice thing about flattr is that it's more than a donation button,
 it's also an ecology of projects helping each others.  Depending on the
 amounts collected there, maybe Org-mode's community can take ownership
 on this flattr account and decide what projects she wants to help.

 For example, let's say that we've been flattr'ed by people active in
 taskwarrior and in taskjuggler, then we could decide to flattr them
 back.

 Let's see how it goes!

I can see it, so maybe all you need is a forced refresh? (C-S-r for firefox)

Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Yes it's there -- just under the donation button.

And yes, orgmode.org needs a design refresh...  :)

2011-02-03 Thread Bastien
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!!

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.



http://flattr.com/

All the best

Totti
