@andralex - could you please go at
https://www.paypal.com/buttons/paymentbuttons/donate/create and generate such a button?

OK. There are a few more pages:
- Return URL (after the donation is made
- Canceled checkout URL
- Return to Merchant Link
- URL for IPN messaging - no idea what that is
For now I didn't customize any of these. I got this code:
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick" />
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="K8PLNUP7276BQ" />
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" title="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" alt="Donate" />

</form>and the following url: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=K8PLNUP7276BQ

Ah, I see you do have this now. You may want to move the public charity part up the page. Leave here: For US taxpayers, contributions to the D Language Foundation are tax-deductible. You should consult your tax adviser for rules as they apply to your situation.
So I just tested the button and I think it would be nice if we enable the message box:
It could be sth. like "Your message to the D Foundation". |

OK, here's the code: <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick" />

and the link: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=FDEUVLD5MB44G I see every test is costing you $5 :) |

I also eliminated the credit card logos to make it more discreet |

"organization" not needed anymore
Thanks! Btw I think it's also possible to edit existing buttons. Here's how it looks for a donor:
Generated email:
Maybe we can put an address into the PayPal account, s.t. the automatically generated receipt & email has one? |

It took me 30 seconds to find @WalterBright's address (edit: removed link)
So I assume it's okay to put it here?

Oh it seems that I didn't get the mail - I have rebased the PR, s.t. it's not included in the history.
