Aaahhh....well I see from their TOU, the Flattr takes 10% of the donations that the site owner (account) receives. That seems like a hefty chunk, when considering these are called "microdonations".
And it looks like Patreon takes 5% for themselves, and additional 2 to 5% for credit card fees. And there are some fees for using PayPal too.
I'd be willing to *help* with these -- like maintaining the webpages, moderating comments, if that's needed. But I certainly don't have the info needed to set up the accounts, or arrange where donations are received.
All best, brynn

We should use any and all non-competing methods. If I could get us a Patreon account, I think we'd do that too.
Other people's thoughts?
Sure, if someone's willing to set up these accounts, it can't hurt, right? A lot of them are going to be just nickels and dimes, and some may have largish fees, but these are concerns for the donors.
Fwiw, I used Flattr a couple years ago and personally found it rather tedious. But to each their own.

Hi Friends, A recent message from a happy Inkscape user on IF (http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=18639) wonders if Inkscape should have a Flattr account? Although this is the first I've heard of Flattr, and I'm not sure if Inkscape's license, mission, etc. will permit; I'm curious myself. I thought it would be worth asking about :-) Should or could Inkscape use this kind of fundraising? (Flattr: https://flattr.com/)
Thanks, brynn
