I think Kickstarter is for funding a specific project, whereas we're looking more to fund travel and expense for developers continuously and/or a general purpose bounty type fund for recurring use.
It's good to keep in mind for the future if there's a need, but I don't think it fits this one.
Any others? I've done a good bit of googling, and haven't come across anything in particular.
BTW, what exactly is the status of the SFC membership?

Not specifically directed at FLOSS, but kickstarter.com http://kickstarter.com might be worth a look.
I haven't followed this discussion closely, so it may or may not fit the purpose.

Any ideas of a good organization which helps FLOSS projects collect funds? Just a simple collection/maintenance thing, is what I'm thinking of. That might be the best route to go, for accountability as well as no worry of "losing access" to it.
