I was talking with dc member ewemoa and was thinking that maybe it would be nice to get the programmers who hang out at dc to get together their amazon.com book wishlists, and encourage potential donors to contribute/join the dc site by buying one of these books for a coder.
It seems to me that is as good a way of helping the site as any (by helping a coder who helps the site), and may be a method of donating that some people find safer and more rewarding.
