The project is way too large to operate solely as a volunteer thing, we need to have a plan how to get more funds. Also, getting funds has been difficult recently, so IMHO it should be permanently visible on the index page. Personally I think there are two aspects: 1. The site should permanently at least in small size say something like "Our current funds will pay N months of development". The dollar value itself is irrelevant to potential donors as outsiders cannot judge how much dollars development costs. Also "We have $20 000" will sound like very much to non-IT-folks and discourage donations, while IT people know that this is very little in terms of how expensive IT is. 2. Realistically we run out of money once a year, which is rather frequent, so we already need to plan for a more large request for donations during the time where our money is low. A donation progress bar like with the old site IMHO is the best approach. It should span the site in full width. Optionally, a small version of the bar could be used at 1. If you don't feel like being capable of doing this with the design templates you have, can you maybe ask Ian to request something from the original designer?
