I'm a Wikipedia Donor
I finally decided I should donate to Wikipedia.
We all probably use it without much thought as to the running costs. I even ignore the occasional nag screens you get when they are doing a fundraising campaign.
Today I got another popup but this time I acceded to their plea.
Interestingly, I offered one lump sum but the sign-up process then said they prefer monthly and suggested a much smaller amount each month. Basically what I was offering but over a year of smaller sums. I agreed to their request.
I donate to lots of other random things around the internet. Especially great bits of software that people write and offer for free, but accept donations. It's good to acknowledge their hard work, if it is making my day easier and more fun/interesting. If we all offered a few bucks a month the "free" software community would be a stronger place.
