My pleasure Fernando,

This is correct. We are not levying any fees and are totally donation
driven and would like to remain that way. Though we do have administrative
expenses, myself and the board (which Fernando is on) are all volunteer.
Our goal is to support projects like IPython and the people behind them.
Remember this if/when we put out a more general call for donations ;). To
learn more, please visit http://numfocus.org/.

Yes, they certainly do! Which is why a conscientious donor would use
services such as WePay or Dwolla when we get them set up for individual
projects. Their cut is practically negligible.
