And don't forget to donate something for all these years of improving and maintaining FileZilla. https://filezilla-project.org/donate.php

But you've already donated, right?

I will be shortly. I'll be interested to see a response from the project admin first.

Put it this way, if they'd asked for a few bucks and put up a Flattr or a GitTip, it would have been a no-brainer for me. Flattr especially is really easy.

Flattr is a way for users to feel good but doesn't really make any useful amount of money for the publisher/developer (each Flattr is just pennies and the number shown is the number of Flattrs over all time, years in many cases). It's more an ad for Flattr than anything else. The space on your site would make FAR more money serving an ad.

That depends on the person donating. if the Person as a $10 budget but only flattr's 2 project then each project would be $4.5

but if they flattr'ed 10 projects each project would only get $0.9
