Likewise, I'd be happy to see a button at the bottom of every separate-page article: "Great Article!, Donate: o $1 o $2 o $5". For subscribers, it would use the existing credit card info; non-subscribers could be offered a subscription after filling the form, with a discount in the amount of the their prior donation.
This is in addition to my desire to be able to transfer "subscription weeks" I've bought to posters of the most useful material. Excess awarded "weeks" might be redeemed for exclusive prizes. (Imagine the cachet of a signature LWN brassard (12 weeks), coffee cup (24), or laptop hardcase (480!) awarded by one's admiring fans.) Especially highly-awarded comments might appear, re-edited, as proper articles the following week.
