flattr for google code try no.1

[anatoly techtonik]

As a part of finance experiment I was looking to add Flattr button to the main

page of python-patch project. I am curious to see if it is able to generate any

interest and to measure the exact difference between amount of money sent

and withdrawn. Flattr claims to keep 10% of sent money, but there are also

different bank fees, payment provider fees, strange currency conversion rates

that are not included.

I registered account, added some details, but failed to add the button to

Google Code project page. It is no problem p to add the static image with a

link, but I wanted the image with counter, which requires JavaScript support.

Through the day I discovered that the only way to add content with Javascript

to GC wiki page is to create Google Gadget (supported at least by GC and

Blogger). When rendered, Gadget wraps JS into <iframe> (probably for

security reasons). There might be other restrictions, like where your gadget

code needs to be hosted, but I've run out of time and energy to go on.
