However, if you want to get many people to donate, especially outside the US, I believe user convenience is a major point. With my VISA card, I could donate the money right here from my FreeBSD system. I have no particular fear of sending the credit card number on the net (I've already done this when buying FreeBSD t-shirts from WC :-). If I have to get a check from the bank, or a money order, it costs me extra time and money. Enough that I haven't done it so far.
