Added the pledge bank, edit away! And comment on the talk.
I've already summarised some of the issues with things like Direct Debit (privacy/data protection issues).
For the pledge bank, I'd like to be quite ambitious. Start that up about a month after the fundraiser with a trial notified about in the Signpost and other community newsletters. Get people designing the buttons and certificates. Goal: $1 million pledged before the next fundraiser, with a 80% conversion rate to actual donations.

hi brian,
many thanks! every idea is worth writing down, could you put it on the wiki where you already put the payment options? maybe we should make also an overview page of the "brainstorm results", what do you think?

I'm curious, the "pledge bank" idea has provoked a flurry of mails on the topic of, how do we say we spend all the money on bandwidth and servers?
Is this people taking it as a given that this is something (the pledge
bank)
that the Foundation should do?
I'm asking this because Thomas is the only one who has said he thinks this is a good/viable idea.
