Please CC me on replies, since I'm not subscribed to the list, and can't follow all lists in linear time [ as you do so curse reply-to: mangling please ;-].
done. ;-) Reply-to-mangling is a topic on the moderators list, and I hope to have a fix in place soon.
The donate page looks substantially better these days - which is
I simply forwarded all challenge-pages to the donation page at the LibreOffice site itself, so we at least remove the "we don't need any more money" notion. ;-)
encouraging. I suggest we add the pretty piggy-bank logo on the download page, at the bottom/right to point at this page too as/when we have polished it up.
Cc'ing the website list, as I like that idea. Can someone have a look on this?
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.
Sounds good. Same question here, Cc'ing the website list: Anyone wants to work on that?
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
That's exactly what we wanted, indeed. Showing how we actually spend the money. I consider a general polishing up of the page plus linking from the download site most crucial, but the above proposal would be a very nice addendum to that, so... volunteers? ;-)
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 ?
