I noticed that becoming an associate member requires a paypal account yet making a donation doesn't. I think it is a good idea to let people donate the yearly sum (of at least 60 euros) and become a member as that wouldn't require creating a paypal account.

I actually brought something like this up on IRC. I guess other forms of payment are being worked on. But it would be nice if a user could put in a donation of something like 60 euros and pay for membership for a year similar to how the FSF does it.

Hi,

I am member of FSF and if I can tell you they have option which I use to pay 10US$ per month and they bill that sum from my credit card. If you work on other payment methods I think you should let user to chose if he wants to pay 60 euro a year or on example 5 euro per month (via credit card). 5 euro per month looks lower but at the end of year it is 60 and user does not need to save money for the end of year to pay it. Without that option in the past I didn't dare to pay 120US$ at once as it looked like to big part of my monthly salary but 10US$ per month is acceptable and I can calculate that in my budget and at the end it is 120US$.

So to shorten this I think you should make options:
1) Pay yearly
2) Pay monthly

The FSF payment system also works for me. I've encountered Paypal-related fraud issues and plan to cancel my account.
