I think that such donation amount shouldn't be painful, but still something that would make people uninterested (or interested once a year) cancel donation, when they lose interest.

Think shopping carts in supermarket (pardon the comparison) - if we would need to put 0.01 euro there, 80% of them would be abandoned somewhere inside shop. With 1 or 2 euro, people actually care to put them back in place.

Considering the absolutely incredibly astonishing number of votes in last election vs. eligible users, i think that maemo.org Community need to be motivated quite a bit, to clean after themselves upon leaving. Recurring payment of 0.02 euro once a year may leave us with 80% of inactive General Assembly for YEARS. Two or three euro donation per month is something different, and I think that 99% of users would cancel it, upo losing interest.

Not to mention, that it's also recurring donation - most of active users are donating to Maemo anyway, this or other way.
