Yes, Gratipay can be added to "the list" - re my previous message about Flattr, in which Martin mentioned also, Patreon. (Sorry I don't know how to link to another email thread. Oh, I'll link to the archive.... http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/donations-Flattr-tp4973285.html)
Again, I would volunteer to manage the accounts (not the money, of course, but the webpages) at all of these. It's just that I'm not sure I have the authority to set up the pages/accounts.
Hi Brynn, I would suggest inquiring about this with karen on IRC on the #inkscape-devel channel. Thanks for volunteering to manage the account pages.
If you do set it up, let me know and I'll set you up with access to our team password repository, so you can share the credentials with other administrators.

Or, Idk, maybe it would be better to just choose one of these, instead of having multiple accounts to manage. If there is one which doesn't take a fee, I would say that would be ideal! (Because when these apparently noble groups who just want to support "the starving artist" or "the starving programmer" take a fee, they start to look less noble, in my eyes.)(my opinion)
While Flattr takes 10%, and Patreon takes 5% plus credit card fees, it appears Gratipay is less "transparent". The Gratipay terms say " Fees Gratipay reserves the right to charge service fees based on the total amount of your transaction. Such fees are subject to change without notice and in Gratipay's sole discretion. All Gratipay fees will be disclosed to you before you complete your transaction."
From my point of view, that makes it difficult for a potential recipient of
these donations, to decide whether to use the service. But again, my opinion :-)
[Off Topic - I'll be interested to look up D3.js, to perhaps add it to the new page I'm making for the Inkscape website, about animation and Inkscape (first draft and still under development: http://staging.inkscape.org/en/learn/animation-and-inkscape). :-) ]
All best, brynn

Hi,
I've set up my donation of $1 to Inkscape through Gratipay. Somebody who owns official Twitter account can setup a cash-out to Inkscape bank - that may help gather more funds for upcoming HackFest https://gratipay.com/on/twitter/inkscape/
It then may be possible to add a link to that to https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/donate/
I am learning Inkscape to do SVG art that can then be animated with D3.js to make something like these stats https://gratipay.com/ProjectTox/receiving/
Please, CC.
