List of people who donated money to support a plugin

    I am thinking about creating a public list of donors (or more precisely, a list of their websites) who sent me few bucks for my plugin. List of 5 recent donations will be included on the Settings page of the plugin and the rest (including TOP 5 contributors) will be located on the plugin page in the Plugin Directory.

    The question is - should I show the amount of money every donor contributed? What do you think?

    I think you should keep the money private between you and the person who donated to you. Just mentionin there names and giving them a free backlink or showing there URL would be good enough for them.

    That's a nice gesture. I would keep the donation amount private though and you might also ask your customer if they want their name listed. Just a suggestion, as they may not.

    I think it'll be better asking the choice of the person who donated, whether they want the amount to be shown or not.
    Some may want to show and some may not.

    Thank you for your replies.

    Yep, there is going to be an optional text field where donors will be able to fill their website URL if they would want to.
