With the exception of the idea of paying a grant admin (which is a role I would
like to see us try to have done via volunteer time - at least for now -
temporary consultant work is OK though), I really can't recall a single thing
you suggested that I don't agree with. In fact I would very much so like to see
most of it happen. 

The real big issue now is that somebody is going to have to code a bot to fetch
and parse the PayPal data. A mechanism would also need to be added to the bot
whereby Moneybookers and mail donation could be periodically added to the
totals via human input (I'm not aware of a read only account access option for
Moneybookers and I would never trust full access to any of our accounts to a
bot).
