That is very interesting - I didn't realize the Inkscape committee was against paid development.
I'm working on the donations page design right now - what should I put on it? Seeing as the "bounty" idea appears to be inappropriate... Would a list of sponsors and individual donors/supporters be acceptable, or best avoided too? Would it be useful to have some kind of graphical representation of how much the project receives (this might be more useful for targets), and how the donations are used?
Are financial contributions even important, and does the development team want donations? If so, please tell me how you would like to use them.
Last time I discussed it with the committee (about a month ago), the committee's idea was to use the donations for organizing hackfests. So the existing Software Freedom Conservancy info from http://inkscape.org/donate.php should stay unless the committee changed their mind.
