I know that it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, and that given the awesome work they are doing, this is worth the hassle. But I'd like to make a comment concerning the payment method. Last week I make my very first donation to Wikipedia. How did it happen? I saw the usual banner, and then, one of the payment options was Amazon. So I entered an amount, clicked the "pay with amazon", and was done. No entering my credit card, filling out forms, or anything. Zero friction. Amazon style. At this moment I realized that the reason why I hadn't donated before isn't that I didn't think the cause was worthy, but simply that the perceived hassle outweighed my desire to give. They removed that friction, they got my money.

So again, given the work they are doing, that's no excuse for not donating. But still, I wonder if that would boost the donations..
