Max is Ok,now,after mending his wounds ,for a while,
after his failed last idea for a moodleton.
My new ideas submitted to our leader and chief
guru (MD) here ,is:
1.to rename the donation page: "The Donors Club"
2.to create a new donor category:
Perpetual Donors:
Here will be all those who pledge to donor regularly
for life:per week,month or once a year
3.Every donor becomes a member of the Club,and they vote
and volunteer to administer the Club.
OK,
if you like this idea,say so,dont just sit there,Ok ?
I want to "hear " what you think.
This is it,
Thanks.Adios.

Sorry, Max, didn't mean to ignore your last post, I've just been too busy to do anything about it. Unfortunately these ideas would just increase the work for me to do ... but I really appreciate your intention and effort to help donations!!! 
There are two ideas in the pipeline already which you should see on the site soon. The first one is simply to mention donations more prominently on the download page and in Moodle itself (on the Admin page). The second is a new sponsoring scheme (but I can't say more on this yet).

I'll take another stab at this concept:
There are two issues which have arisen:
The money spent for a donation would go towards subscribing to the service or making me part of a professional organization of moodle educators, making it a tax-deducatable outlay while 100% would be forwarded to moodle.
Moodle Partners could be part of the group for free, but other local moodle service providers could be listed based on a similar certification program. These could include moodle trainers of various levels (A/B/C?) or learning designers.
The subscription service itself would provide a place interested parties could browse to or be referred to when searching for local service or support options while providing a means of supporting the development of moodle. Will this work?
There are two issues which have arisen:
- I would really like the opportunity to make a regular monetary contribution to moodle and make it tax-deductable at the same time.
- When I'm doing advocacy I would like to have an identifiable network of local service providers and users, preferrably gathered into one place in a nice neat geographical package. This might also help with the "what about support" question.
