I've known of flattr for quite a few months and I like what they are doing - and wanted to implement them on my personal blog ... but I am not yet quite convinced. How can this work?: - Integrate flattr into the WordPress plugin respository? - Implement this plugin by sending requests to the plugin respository? I don't quite see it yet ... but there is movement :) Thank you Brent! That's an interesting direction!!

I don't quite see it yet … but there is movement :)

Thank you Brent!

I guess we leave it up to those guys to get the scale, though they are focusing on more than WordPress plugins. I just remembered a site doing something similar: flattr.com

Sounds like a great idea. I'm currently looking at different solutions to the same problem. Did you get this plugin going? Sounds like a great idea.

Still, there are plugins, themes and frameworks based on WordPress openly for sale within the community, though not on the official site, so there would be support for the concept, I would think. I wish you all the best with it and do hope it somehow manages to take-off. It's a great idea and a wonderful way for those who wish to (and who are able to financially), to pay back those who work so hard to bring us such great resources.

I also don't know how to further circulate this. Thank you for casting your vote :) I appreciate it :) I did post this at the WordPress Ideas forum – but to the best of my knowledge it was removed.

This idea ought to be distributed widely within the community. I'm too new to the community to have any idea of how best to manage that, but surely there is some way to get it started. Perhaps opening a discussion on the wordpress.org forum, if that has not already been done? As a user, I must say that this is a fantastic idea and I would gladly donate if it were set up.
