Would be cool indeed. Note that if the verein wants to do 1200 USD a year
we should think of transfering this to Casey directly and noting going via
github. (Github only offered us paypal and credit card and the latter did not 
work. Using Github has the advantages: They sometimes seem to add to the 
donation amount from ther side. It maybe a public example. And the drawback 
that sponsoring Casey is for all of his projects and github may take a 
percentage at some point.)
