Good discussions:
http://planet.documentfoundation.org/(Why can planet.inkscape.org be like this?)
It is pretty similar, we just don't have many active bloggers. So it can be like that, we just need people who write regularly.
We haven't had control for a long time (several years) of whose blogs are being fed it. At one point, there wasn't a single mention of Inkscape on the site!
Donation page:
http://donate.libreoffice.org/Another example is: http://www.blender.org/foundation/donation-payment/
Supporters page:
https://www.documentfoundation.org/supporters/Interesting.
As a side mention, and it's something we hadn't really talked about previously, this is an approach of Blender's towards funded development: http://www.blender.org/foundation/development-fund/
One thing I take away from that page are that people that contribute to it, trust that the higher ups in the project know what needs to be worked on. The other thing I take away from it is maybe making subscription/recurring monthly donations to the general fund would be a nice option. I'd be shocked if there aren't people out there who would say "I make a living using Inkscape, surely I can give them $5 a month".
