If related to the time the donations were spanning then yes.
Donations per time is what I think the public should see.

I didn't mean ads, just links instead of plain donator's
name or company's name.

I had hardware/hosting costs in mind. Would be great to have
a page for other needs like the conference thing as well
but that should in my eyes be separated.

Do we have a list of "help wanted" list sowhere?
All I found is the bounty page [1].
