I've asked Tyler @OSGeo to set up a PayPal account for OpenLayers -
as a way for us to accept "micro-donations" to the project and
OSGeo.  We have a larger sponsorship program for people wishing to
make more substantial contributions
(http://openlayers.org/sponsorship/).  I like the idea of being
able to accept smaller financial contributions from those who are
able to make them.

I am pretty much +0, but I have a question: For what purpose are we
planning to use the donations? I am all for encouraging the community
to support the project, but I am wondering what kind of support we
need.

This question is also relevant for our Sponsorship program (http://openlayers.org/sponsorship/). At the time we decided to go ahead with that, we created this list of ideas:
