: I must definitely be doing something wrong. Also, their pageviews count is low; According to Google Analytics, we had about 40k pageviews over the last 7 days. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 18:47, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
:: I imagine they think that those page views are page views with full out ads (and perhaps popups) on every page. Though I have not really looked into what their assumptions are. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 18:55, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Along the lines of the donate button, there is also [http://flattr.com/ Flattr]. I haven't used it or looked deeply into it, so I don't know what the full pros and cons are. --[[User:Coderjoe|Coderjoe]] 00:50, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
== 2012 status? ==
Every document and note I have seen about finances was from 2011. Is there anything happening in 2012 ? [[User:DavidWhitten|DavidWhitten]] 20:10, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
== Cloudflare? ==
Have you considered using [https://www.cloudflare.com/overview Cloudflare]? The basic service is free. You'd still have to run your own server, but their caching would reduce your bandwidth, so you could avoid overages or having to add more servers. It might also help protect you from spam. I haven't used it; I've just looked at their website, but it sounds interesting.

Never mind, it looks like you're already using Cloudflare, since I periodically get the Cloudflare error "Error 524 Ray ID: 1137acd15aaa012e A timeout occurred" when using Rosetta Code. I guess the problem is that the HTML content can't be cached, since it's dynamically generated. Some thoughts:
* I love Rosetta Code, but it's painfully slow for me, even when it doesn't time out. Could you update the Finances page for 2014 and provide some sort of "donation goal" to indicate what would be necessary to upgrade Rosetta Code to a faster host?
* You might want to consider moving the "Donate" button to a less out-of-the-way place. Maybe to the sidebar along with the G+ and Tweet buttons? It would sort of make sense there. Though you've expressed that a Donate button might be annoying, I think it's less annoying than having a really slow site.
* Maybe also consider Gittip?
* The BookLink template doesn't seem to work.

== Gittip ==
I would second Ppelleti's suggestion of Gittip. Various people rave about it. https://www.gittip.com/

== as-a-Service ==
The idea of selling the content, possibly in book form, was mentioned over here: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code:Village_Pump/Income
I'd suggest that the content-as-a-service might be valuable. Specifically, I have an idea for a web app that would use RC's code samples. I've tried reaching out to Michael on Twitter. Since I can't edit his talk page (http://rosettacode.org/wiki/User_talk:Short_Circuit, as an aside, it looks like there's vandalism at the bottom of that page) and since this is potentially related to funding RC, I'm posting it here. But I'd like to discuss offline if possible. Feel free to email me.
