Yup, I just confirmed that all payments smaller than 0.001 BTC are just waiting and they are included in forward after the balance reaches 0.001 BTC.
Good to know, I'll go update my article. Thanks!
I also just noticed that blockchain.info has a callback url in their payments API that could be used to populate donation information instead of relying on a cron job, although I think I'd prefer to use both methods in case something goes wrong with the callback, at least I'd have good stats updated every n minutes/hours/days.
