Simple, easy.  Also can be done starting with what is already available, just with a backlog to get through.\r\n\r\nRequiring authors to bring it to your attention in the first place is basically setting up what we have right now until someone finds out and gets annoyed.  Basically, the same problem with it not being there in the first place.\r\n\r\nIf you can't get in contact with them but they do have a link, then you have to decide whether it's better to list it on CKAN and use that link without verifying, list it on CKAN and use no link (and result in annoyance at hiding donate button) or to go whole-hog on risk-reduction and not list them.\r\n\r\nBut ultimately, if you don't pick the last option (which we all know is out of the cards) then you fall back to what you have now.  Otherwise, you make the best attempt possible to not interfere with donations.\r\n\r\n@WazWaz ...there's kinda a huge problem with that idea.  To users and CKAN contributors, this is providing an incentive to modders.  But to me, where I know I'd get donations if the button is visible but won't if it isn't, it's equivalent to CKAN saying, \"we've listed your mod, and now unless you maintain the metadata, we'll make sure you don't get any donations.\"  I think that might not go over well."}}
