Too much to translate for me if it is on the web site.

While I may think of it as something interesting for a few readers,  
the web site is dedicated to the explaination of how to use fink from  
the user or the from developer perspective, not for anything else. It  
is already large and complicated enough not to add pages with another  
type of contents.

But those pages could be added on the sponsored server and linked to  
SF main page under Other resources as a unique item, though strictly  
speaking they are not resources.

You can accept donations on our sponsored server and lists them on  
the web site, if the contract with SF is exactly as you mentionned  
above. Or you can put a link on SF to  a page dedicated to donations  
on the sponsored server in case the contract is slightly different.  
And yes, this pertains to the web site under home as credits pertain  
to it.

Not for me: while SF ensures that fink remains opened to anyone as  
long as it is on it, nothing in the fink status as it is on the wiki  
ensures it. So for me, that changes completely its nature.
