Regarding donations.
I belive amazon is doing some kind of deal where if a site registeres with them, and people go to amazon and buy something via a special link they give that site, amazon gives a small % of that sale money to us.
I'm seeing it done right now (in time for XMas) on a US site, so I'm not sure if it's unique to the US or if it's for anyone, but something to look into.
