surely this can be done also with wiki, but that should happen with the 
bounty site, if you got 1000 donators with 1$? I think, this will not 
work very well. I have seen like proposals already in a mailing archive 
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/users/2007-12/msg00051.html

I believe that earning from donations can be much greater if the project 
had some system for accounting,

that supports anonymous micro donations. Because it's much easy to find 
1000 donators, who spends 1 $ as 10 donators with 100 $. This makes 
project also more open for public influence and more attractive.

Because not everyone in a position to decide about code completeness, 
some kind of project board can review and decide about payment.

Moreover, I will set 100 € for establishment such donating system in the 
project.
That should be my next step?
