I think if we present it in a proper way, it can do a lot of good. Most 
people are not aware - now that the fundraising challenge is over - that 
we are still in need of money. One of the most used pages is, for sure, 
our download page. If we can use this to tell people that the software 
is free, but they can support us with a donation, I think we can get 
many more donations and raising awareness.

Of course, I agree that it shouldn't nagging, only informing.
