Feature wanted: maemo to support donations to software in maemo->download.
Optimal would be a donation button near the "on click installation" and maemo (or a maemo partner) handling the transfer of the money to different accounts of the authors and developers of the software with (by project maintainer) defined ratios.
Reason: I have feature requests for our software (vncviewer) with donation offer, and like to have a simple way to handle donations to realize the requests. I think, this would help some developers to realize feature requests.
Of cause it is possible for an author to put a donation button on the project main page using some donation provider. But I think maemo commuity would be a good place to offer this. I know, it is some administration necessary, but exactly this is the reason, why I did not do it myself up to now.
On the other side, if more maemo applications would offer a donation button, this might influence the behaviour of the users on accepting this to be the kind of way this application "store" works.
