I love too develop on this platform (last week never to bed before than 4am). You did a great job with it but...no donation, like a lot of other very good project.
If you get a good amount of money you can think to open a little software house and than take all this like a job perhaps.
Without money, you (and me and a lot of other good developer) have to look for a "real" job that first or after "kill" this type of activity.

A lot of times I use an app for a while before i even realise the dev. has a way to donate, some don't even have a visible way to donate to them(looking at you MAG). but when there is, I give what I can.
(it wasn't till I went through my paypal account last week that I realised how much I had donated over the past year.)
sometimes if you put up a donation leaderboard you will get people trying to out donate each other and you can get some high amounts
but as tswindell said you could end up with nothing at all if no one got enough liquid funds at the time(the holiday season does make people very poor) but I hope you get rewarded for your hard work(otherwise what's the point) which ever route you take.

Sorry for offtopic..
IMO Donating trought webpages is too troublesome to most of users. Most of "everythingnowandhere" generation wants single button that has 3€ by default and is connected to itunes/google/nokia etc account. So that you are able to donate from your device with ~3 taps at most. Everything beyond that is too troublesome to Average Joes.

I do not blame these people but IMO making donation as easy as possible is something that would benefit everyone.

Type once and validate ur account and then boom thats it.
could even add google checkout so everytime you try to buy something online and hit checkout (where applicable) you get an option within browser on the bottom like OVI store to either use paypal or google check out to process your transaction.

A lot of users have been waiting a long time for this. I hope you can get it into Ovi and the project just doesn't disappear.

Donation or OVI is fine for me... as long as you have a working vkb that is easy to use and works in all apps then I for one am more yhan willing to pay. I'd suggest OVI because donation don't work on maemo from what I can tell. (saw very few donation to TouchSearch...)
But releasing source at the same time when you put it on OVI is not a good idea money-wise, that I'm sure.

I would suggest release the code after a few months when you've made a bit of income (like $500 USD) or something so it to pay off your hardwork before letting the code out for free. That if you think it worth some money for your hardwork. I would not mind to pay $3 NZD for it, $1NZD = $0.76USD
I'm happily contribute to your project for free.
