Re: Accepting donations from mobile phones
Bharat, Have you followed up with them to explain that we were directed to them as part of the http://www.mobilegiving.org/ application process?

Anyone willing to fill out their application and see if we can get GNOME in the program? Sounds great! Perhaps one way to get more take-up would be to offer GNOME art for phones (backgrounds, maybe some GNOME ringtones, just thinking out loud here) and on download to the phone pointing people to this donation page and asking for a $1 donation or something? Just a thought - I have no idea what would be involved to get that set up conveniently.

My understanding was that the nonprofit - the second link in the email I sent - sets it up for you and handles all the fees. We don't work directly with the providers but through them.
