Hi all I agree we should have a larger donate button. Happy to mock that up. Sean, do you have any copy I could use? I imagine it would be pretty minimal...
As far as using git, I agree that would make a lot of sense! I say let's do it. Bernie, would you mind putting together some basic instructions for me so I can continue to update the site? Finally, I am definitely excited to hear about the site assessment and to take on a long overdue design/content update! Let's talk once the findings come in. Happy holidays everyone!

However, the button will need some work to be "Sugarized" with our font (VAG Rounded Light) and colors. I think a small banner format like the 120x90 ad we did on FOSS sites a year ago through Ad Bard would work better (attached) Christian, have you had a chance to consider Bernie's proposal concerning the static intro site and git? On topic as well, the MIT Sloan students are winding up their marketing study in a couple of weeks and they have given an initial briefing concerning our website(s). Which I missed unfortunately, but John Tierney rebriefed me. We may want to start thinking about a revamp in that context. thanks Sean On Thu, Dec 30, 2010 at 6:30 PM, Walter Bender <walter.ben...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Thu, Dec 30, 2010 at 12:14 PM, Bernie Innocenti <ber...@codewiz.org> > wrote: >> >> On Thu, 2010-12-30 at 12:09 -0500, Luke Faraone wrote: >> > On 12/30/2010 12:00 PM, Bernie Innocenti wrote: >> > > Matt from the Free Software Foundation noted that we don't even have a >> > > donate button on our web site.
