<PRE>Hi Patricia,

Ok, but before putting in the graphics and bigger discussion circles
(not that it's bad), we need to square a bit things and extract clear
& short action items.

Well, we already have the structure (see <A HREF="http://mageia.org/en/donate/">http://mageia.org/en/donate/</A> ):
a. Teaser (not here, can be the title or a banner)
b. Why Donate?
c. How to track donation? (maybe to rephrase "your money at work", to
put as an aside section of the page and link to a separate page that
does show detailed use of the money, in time and with the records -
this would be an enhanced financial reports page, that we already
have, see <A HREF="http://mageia.org/en/about/reports/2011/">http://mageia.org/en/about/reports/2011/</A>)
d. Donate (actions that should be made more clear and enable regular,
automatic donations)
e. Thank You page, listing who gave something.
><i>From this, if we can automate the tracking/listing of donations, we
</I>can build something more visual to publish on the front page, if
needed. And that's where the artwork team is in (desiging a
donation-meter for instance and/or the enhanced reports page).
Automating the background app (logging donation amounts and donators)
is in Dams basket already; that doesn't prevent from starting artwork
and/or discuss for visualization (operational) mockups.

</I>>><i>
</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>><i>
</I>><i> Yes - that's a great idea.
</I>
Ok. So apart from integrating it (and translating it), we need a set
of items to put there:
- call to contribute
- call to donate
- call to download/use
That's a job for you! ;-p
>><i> Not sure what you mean here?

</I>><i> If we're asked (as for the Inquirer article) to put some words into
</I>><i> someone else's article, do we want to add Donations as a way people

</I>
Ah yes. Sorry. Sure, of course. That's part of the game.
