Pretty much where it was with my last email..which might be good. and that was: - added an unpublished Donate page to the LibreOffice.org site - the actual donate form didn't work, my fault as I simply did a copy paste from the challenge site..I'll look in the email archive for the hows and whys and hows. - also tried to create a couple of virtual pages, but then this is not correct if you think about it as this approach to different languages wasn't virtual pages. I suppose the thing to do now is just to finish the en page and to do that how about we look again at [1] http://challenge.documentfoundation.org/donate/ my first thought was simply to move that page to http://libreoffice.org/donate but I suppose this is also a great moment to re-write that page a bit..it's seems a little sparse on actual copy that ASKS for a donation. Also, noted the email from Sophie about the update to the SPI donation page, that reference needs to be updated on this page. so...here is the text from the first paragraph on the page: ------------------------------------------------- Donate All donations will be fed directly into the future foundation's budget to cover operating expenses. Freies Office Deutschland e.V. is a German-based association. Donations to it are tax-deductible inside Germany. For information on tax-deductibility outside Germany please contact your local tax office. ----------------------------------------------------- followed by a list of donation sites: -bank transfer -paypal widget -Flatter -SPI so it's a long page that the user must scroll down. [1] Alright - I guess the first thing is that first paragraph, that's short and sweet but maybe just one initial sentence as to why 'they' should donate. hmmm... I need to go paint a few window frames, now while it is a bright sunny fall day [a shrinking resource this year]...and will think about that first sentence while watching the brush strokes.
