We received two requests by email for methods to contribute financially not using paypal.  This bug is to track this issue.  I'll leave this as public for now but will not post copies of the emails as a result.

I suppose one easy method would be to mail a check (cheque) or money order, etc, to the Foundation treasurer. 

Thoughts?

Ok, so we have decided to make a page detailing the available means of donating.

For bitcoin, there are ways for immediate exchange to fiat (USD, EUR, etc.etc.)

I'm going to close this for now; I think it could be included in future fundraising work; no one is actively working on it at this time though.
