I'm trying to figure out a way for flattr to allow a "master account" so that each of Conservancy's member projects can have its own and the funds all come to Conservancy, properly routed for each project. If Flattr doesn't support that 'master account' idea, what I'll do is make a separate flattr account for each of Conservancy's member projects. Hopefully, that can be done yet have all the banking information be the same. I'll experiment more with this over the weekend and into early next week. I'll report to the Conservancy Git Committee (which is currently Jeff, Junio, and Shawn) on what I discover and how we can make it work. Anyway, I'll find a way to do it, one way or the other. Flattr has become a very popular way to donate to FLOSS projects and Conservancy therefore needs to support it. BTW, to reiterate what Jeff mentioned in his post, if anyone ever has any questions about Git's membership in Conservancy, just email . That alias reaches both me and the Conservancy Git Committee simultaneously. -- Bradley M. Kuhn, Executive Director, Software Freedom Conservancy
