While it is important to create better options, and while Flattr 
initially looked promising, it is inappropriate for this kind of project 
because it requires a monthly subscription.

Recurring fees incur a very large administrative overhead and are 
generally dangerous for non-profit and not-for-profit organizations.  If 
administrative overhead starts approaches %3 then something is *very* 
wrong.

If there were no subscription fees involved, that would make it more 
attractive.  However, realistically managing a subscription costs time 
because it has to be checked on at regular intervals.
