I've made some thoughts about making Xfce join a non-profit umbrella
organization maybe but we'll have need to discuss this in more detail.
After all the feedback I received so far, I can only agree with you.
However, it doesn't end with having a donation system available. We
also need a clear strategy on what to do with them. There are a lot of
possible uses for money be it taking part in conferences, organizing
Xfce meetings or even set up some kind of bounty system for little
features we would love to have but don't have the time to work on. This
also needs discussion of course. The reason I received so much feedback
might be that I had a clear goal and people knew exactly what they were
contributing to.
