[rkward-users] Donate to Rkward

[Alex Ruiz E.]

Hi, sorry for bringing up an old thread, but I see that PayPal is still 
the only way to donate. Have developers considered using Software in the 
Public Interest, Inc. (www.spi-inc.org) as a donation portal? It also 
acts as fiscal sponsor. I'm unsure whether this is right for a project 
like Rkward, but I see some individual applications being listed as 
beneficiaries. I just found out about this project and thought it could 
be useful.
