It's time for an interim report - when I wrote about the addition of the 
button 19 days ago, we started out with 4 flattrs.
Since then, 96 people have clicked the button on http://www.gimp.org or 
https://flattr.com/thing/707850/ for a total of 115 times, some might 
even have added a subscription to it.
Thanks for the support, it is much appreciated - it helps us to get 
contributors to meetings like the Libre Graphics Meeting in Vienna 
earlier this year:

For those interested in statistics:

- the first four clicks have provided a revenue of 18.60 Euros, mostly 
due to the donation that made me add the Flattr thing in the first place
- the next 86 clicks up to Juli 31 (total: 90) amount to a revenue of 
56.40 Euros

I've added a big widget to our donations page at 
http://www.gimp.org/donating/ - it shows a bit more information than the 
small button, for example the recent donors.
