I've heard from a few different people myself, who are just dying to donate to Inkscape, but can't find a satisfying way to do it. Most of they want Inkscape listed in their favorite crowd funding type of site. Like they set aside a certain amount of their income on one site, and divide it up among all the projects they want to support. But there are several of those.
I wonder if it would work for 1 person to sort of adopt such a project, whose job is to maintain accounts in a few of those places? Not that I can volunteer for that myself.
For now, I just refer them to the Support Us page https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/ Wish I had a better answer.
A patreon account should be our first port of call, we can make an announcement on all our social media and see how much money we can get per month.
It's be easier to do if we were indie, but for now we'll have to go through the Conservancy.
Bryce can you add this to the board meeting, I'd like to get some solid actions planned, because I think we need to get on with the collecting rather than the 'figuring out how to spend' part which we often get bogged down in.
