I think there are many people in the wider community that would be
interested in Chip-In like functionality.

I'm wary of payment systems in general, and in particular of new, untested
ones. I took a spin around ChipIn, and it is quite nicely done. I created an
account.

How is their support for international credit cards? Our community is a
world wide one...

Use JQuery effects. It will likely be in core for 4.8/5.0, and it's much
smaller than script...
