Thread:User talk:Varnent/Giving gifts + extension developer support/reply

Yeah - I think enough time has passed and enough ideas have been discussed that we can safely do something and not worry too much about backlash. :) I think it would be appropriate to add a page to the Extensions WikiProject are outlining how to request donations and including the info about Amazon wish lists, etc.  Maybe add an area to the Extensions template for a donation link - ideally to a section on that page with donation info.  My hunch is that if we take this approach, it will not be perceived as official WMF action and we can avoid the headaches of them appearing to be sanctioning the services that developers use to solicit donations.  Maybe add a "disclaimer" somewhere stating that these are specific to each developer and not coordinated by or through WMF - or something along those lines that helps address any concerns of "did WMF know that PayPal does XYZ bad thing and now they're using it to solicit developer donations - damn them!" or whatever related hubbub folks prone to complain may find.  :)
