well this is at least a link to the general donation page of Apache. I think more about 1-click paypal button or combined with a pre-filled (eg. 10$) donation text field and a page with some more project specific background information why a donation is useful and make sense. I think there exists several ways to make a PayPal donation quite easy. And easy is of course important here, people don't want to read a dull page to find the necessary information. We should ask for a donation or at least point to the donation option when people download it but should in general point on every website people to the donation option. >7million downloads should trigger some donations to Apache. The project is huge, successful and we cause some costs as well. I think we should leverage the brand to collect more donations...
