Re: GNOME Donations only through PayPal?
You can make donations via Google Checkout. We just need someone to add the option to the donations page ...

Weird, I don't have a paypal account and could donate. Might be country-specific?

You shouldn't have to have a paypal account in order to make a paypal payment. That's one of the things Paypal actually boasts about. But, having multiple options are a good thing, because if Google Checkout were the only option, I would be unable to make a payment (since Google screwed up my Google account and I can't do any Google transactions for over a year now.) Paypal is also an issue for certain countries. Brazil is one of them, but that's probably more a international banking issue than payment method. Bryen Just a thought!

Re: GNOME Donations only through PayPal?
Yeah, thats what I was always of the impression of, but it made me create an account in order to make a donation, unless I just clicked on the wrong button (which is entirely possible, I'll admit :p). I definetly thought it was odd though.
