We REALLY need to get a coherent donation page for Namecoin and non of the core devs have time to handle this project.

If you can code a static webpage, you can help! See this Github ticket for more info.

There's a Namecoin fork of Tip4Commit that a friend of mine made, once I have my hosting sorted out I'll get it online, domains registered for it already.

The dot-bit.com domain is going to be scrapped and replaced with bit.namecoin.org.

You would think so, but I have yet to meet them. They certainly aren't any of the core contributors at the moment, otherwise we would have paid staff. I'm working on getting funding to pay developers to work in Namecoin, so if you meet any.

We also don't want to be overly reliant on any one funding source. We are trying to avoid many of the mistakes made when the original DNS system was setup.

That's great, we will be using bounty source as well, these donations will mainly be used to fund code bounties and server hosting costs.
