I also have a basic plan on how to integrate Flattr on gnome.org.

Hi Oliver!
Sorry that it took some time before I answered this. Vacation, conferences and work got in the way. Thanks for reminding me IRL. :)
There have been at least two previous e-mail to this list before about flattr [1] [2] and no concerns were raised as far as I can see so I'm going with the notion that silence means OK and that everyone likes the idea!

The super easy way is to use this Wordpress plugin

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/flattr/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/flattr/installation/

Looks easy. I want Vinicius Depizzols +1 on this.

Where to put the Flattr button
My suggestion is to put a Flattr button GNOME foundation startpage for maximum exposure.

I think gnome.org frontpage would suit better as it has more exposure and because I think it would be good to threat the whole of GNOME as one entity rather than the foundation being a separate side-thing. [3]
