Donations are definitely accepted. In addition to hackfests the donations are used to help get developers to various conferences as well. Also, the board is against inkscape paying for projects. Things that are organized outside of the project proper (such as the text tool work that was done via linuxfund or GSoC) are not opposed by the board, just having the project pay for them is what is opposed.

Cheers,
Josh

Thanks for the info. Also, is google checkout the only online gateway or can you receive donations via paypal too? (The SFC website uses both, so do some of their other member projects.)
