It would be nice to negociate this and have a price in the contract,
rather than leave it up to their good will. This is what I have done in
my (failed) attempts in the past.

Difficult - espêcially since we're talking regional rather than world
sales. They really shouldn't expect any more than about €20,000 in sales.

It doesn't make for a nice user experience if you want to buy a few
things, and you end up having to buy off 3 different suppliers. It would
be nice to be able to constitute a shopping basket on the site.
I prefer having a site per supplier, with a filter page by region.
I don't think it's particularly painful having the payment platform off
gnome.org, but I hope that they can style it so that it doesn't look
completely different.

Good idea.
