Dear Bastien,

you might consider to add a Flattr account for org-mode too.
As far as I understood Flattr is a micorpayment system on a monthly 
base. People donate a monthly sum and this will be shared by the 
projects they marked (by click on a clever placed icon) over a month 
period. I believe this heavily lower the resistance to place a donation, 
people think "Since I spend the money every month why not donating to 
org-mode", which is quite different to "Ohh paypal, I need to pull out 
my credit card and enter all my credentials, wait is it save, wait 
should I do it now, wait will my spouse punish me for throwing out money 
again for my crazy interests" ;)

I guess the idea is to place those icons at places where people just got 
very happy about org-mode... maybe the manual section, or Worg, video 
tutorial page, etc.


http://flattr.com/

All the best

Totti
