Decide how to handle donations

Description

@ieli would like to add a footer in ServPulse to invite to do a donation.

For that, we need to have a small administrative discussion to answer some questions:

  • do we want to accept donations?
  • what's the funds are for?
  • what's our current budget?
  • how to be transparent with donations?

The main cost for Nasqueron is our servers infrastructure, around 2400 EUR per year, currently mostly paid by @dereckson while @Sandlayth pays the VPS for Eglide (around 60 eur / year).

Other costs are less straightforward but we would really like to support travel for developers, like reimburse a 10 EUR train ticket from home for students helping us as volunteer or intern.

Once we gather answers about this, we can decide what providers we use (PayPal ? Bank account for wire transfers ?) and who is responsible for the funds + the reporting level we want.

For now, I think it’s a bit too early to add a donation footer in ServPulse. My original idea was more long-term: if some projects start getting significant usage, they could naturally become small “cash cows” that help sustain the organization’s costs in the future.

At this stage, I’d prefer to keep the focus on building good tools and growing usage rather than introducing donations yet. We can revisit this later once we have more visibility on adoption and real usage patterns.

So I’d suggest we hold off on adding any donation call-to-action for the moment.
