I took that new survey that's up and the part about donating got me thinking about a couple of things that have been on my mind about the subject. First, when you go to the donations page, it give you an option to make a "one time donation". Personally I'd like to set up an automatic, periodic donation rather than have to remember to wander by manually. Something like $18/month is what I give some other organizations. It would be really nice if that kind of thing could be implemented.
Second, what ever happened to our merchandise store? I think the one on Cafepress is still there http://www.cafepress.com/wikipedia, but it isn't linked to from the donations page anymore and good suggestions on the talk page on meta (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Store) have been sitting stale without any action, some for years now. I think the store project should be re-activated and expanded- why should others be making money from the "citation needed" bumper stickers, for example?
