Here would be my suggestions to compress it vertically and make it somewhat richer: > Back in a few hours with a draft then, Did the painting get the better of you - or should I be subscribed ? :-) I think the current text is rather good. I'd sort the SPI link to the top though, and the flatr link below paypal, and have some side-by-side divs with the huge Fries Office address & bank details block on the right. Hopefully that'll get it into a single page. I also think that something graphical would be really helpful here; a single rotating image as on the front-page, with a caption of: "how we spend your money" - with a selection of a pictures: Image / embedded caption: Munich Hack-Fest - hack fests to work on the code Paris / LibreOffice conf - conferences to co-ordinate and excite generic? server hardware - hardware to host infrastructure Italo at some conference - travel subsidy for speakers ODF plug-fest picture - standards work to enhance ODF Or somesuch ? if people agree, I can help put the images together and make a mess of them to the point that someone clueful is provoked to do it right ? :-) Wrt. the text, I'd move the "we prefer volunteers" rubric from the bottom up, and say: "You are encouraged to send cash donations by one of these channels" or somesuch, with a bit more cosmetic text tweaking as we put it in place. How does that sound ?
