I think the 501c3 question is secondary.
Visitors to our website are there to learn about Freenet, hopefully download it
and use it, and/or become developers. Why would we plant a huge ugly green
banner in the middle of our front page to send these people away to another
website, regardless of how worthwhile we might think that campaign is? It really
makes no sense to me.
I'm also concerned that this action was taken even though multiple people had
pointed out how ugly the banner was, utterly inconsistent with the color scheme
of the website. Don't people understand the importance of having an
aesthetically pleasing and well structured website for the project? It just
strikes me as extreme carelessness.
Hopefully we can use part of the $25k donation to pay for a professional website
redesign, it will be well worth the investment.
Ian.
