Through facebook I had posted on the pioneer one wall and asked about accepting donations through bitcoin. Here's how the conversation went:

me: "Have you ever thought of accepting bitcoins as a donation method? They are gaining value everyday, not to mention they would cut down on paypal fees."

pioneer one: "Have heard about it but not very familiar. We'll start looking into it."

I just wrote back saying: "http://www.bitcoin.org/faq and http://mtgox.com/trade/sell - for the moments BTC to USD conversion. I'm glad to see you respond and say you'll look into it, getting a big project like pioneer one on board would definitely be a major boon to the bitcoin economy! Cheers "

I'm just glad to see a pretty big and influential project like pioneer one actively looking into bitcoin.
