<PRE>Hi Romain,
><i> you could as well post this directly on marcom I guess.
</I>
And artwork (who will always get dragged into these things 8-))... we
might even take it over to the Discuss list when we've got it a bit
more together, what do you think?

</I>><i> - the donation page (better showcase amount received, goal to reach

</I>><i> - this can be used to showcase the donation status around the place

</I>><i>

</I>><i> records, activity and feedback, and actual use of what we have
</I>><i> already (as for the 2011 forecast, we didn't receive more than 2k
</I>><i> on the 20k we expect).
</I>
Okay, we can design that all together, I think - what goes on the
front page and how it'll look, and where it will link to and what we
want there.
Following up on pledges is a bit of a different activity, but we
could include a reminder on the Donations page - did you pledge?
Now's the time to make good! or something like that.
Feedback please!

</I>><i> We can add a permanent footer to blog posts; see bottom of this post
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2940-svn-flashback-product-roadmaps-are-dangerous">http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2940-svn-flashback-product-roadmaps-are-dangerous</A>
</I>><i> for instance. These are good reminders.
</I>
Yes - that's a great idea.

</I>><i> Not sure what you mean here?
</I>
If we're asked (as for the Inquirer article) to put some words into
someone else's article, do we want to add Donations as a way people
can contribute?
Cheers!
