OK, so it is on the Wiki, how do I say, here's 20USD on the way to this.
Especially since I don't want to give the money until there is a reason ;-)

How do we "ensure" that people who "only say" that they will donate to the
cause, will donate to the cause. What I would really like to see is an escrow
that has the following "fields"

What is the money for?
Who can say whether or not this is done?
What timeframe is the pledge valid for?
What should happen with the money when the pledge expires?

Does anyone know of such a service?

Cheers,
Paul
