I am also using an ad-hoc methods for Conservancy as well that have
worked out quite well. For accounting, I use:
http://wiki.github.com/jwiegley/ledger
and the donations come in the usual way through Google Checkout and
PayPal with comment fields. I have a few scripts that import them into
Ledger, and I hand-enter any check donations.
This wouldn't work if a non-hacker tried to edit the text files and
commit them to SVN -- which is how I keep history -- but this works
quite well and it is actually much more flexible and usable (from a
software versatility perspective) than LedgerSMB or SQL-Ledger.
I don't really need the functionality offered by CiviCRM, simply because
I don't need to track donors in detail and do appeals on behalf of the
projects. Long term, hooking up CiviCRM to some sort of accounting
system would be a useful project, given the interest CiviCRM has, but in
the short term, hobbling along seems the right answer for everyone...
