Re: [freenet-dev] Donation page on website
I agree, that aims are good. But I think that displaying donation status in a way, so that you can see it when you've donated 10$, is just as important. People need this verification quality, and with the current display of donation status they have it. I'm not saying by this, that all should stay like it is right now. I'm hinting on what shouldn't be lost in the process of change.

Regards, Gerard 12 months is still beyond the horizon of most average people. If you want to lose 50 pounds in six months you don't ignore the scale for 5 months and then find out you have only lost 10 pounds and stop eating for month 6. You give yourself mini goals 5 lbs a week or 10 pounds a month or whatever works so you feel like progress is being made. If you don't make your mini goal you know to work harder for the next check-in. If you want to put a year progress bar next to it that is fine.

I'm hinting on what shouldn't be lost in the process of change. I thought the balance is currently only updated twice a day? How is it different? Of course we wouldn't show just a plain progress bar, numbers would be included. Just my 2 cents.
