While I mostly agree, I'd still put a more visible generic call to contributing, in the form of a link to the sponsoring page. Once there, people can be appropiately informed and act accordingly to their wishes. My point is only to offer a direct tunnel to this important aspect of the project's sustainability. -- Francisco Vila.
