I agree that the Donate link probably needs to be a bit more prominent (the current link in the upper-right corner kind of blends in with everything else and my eyes just glean over it). Maybe add it as a tab or "above the fold"... something that kind of popped into my head when thinking about the "Donate" link is that the term "Contribute" may make sure sense, since the project is not only helped by monetary or physical donations, but also contributions of code and volunteering time on documentation, Ports, etc. Then again, my mind doesn't always produce things that make a lot of sense :) --=20 Linh Pham question+advocacy@closedsrc.org http://closedsrc.org/ --XsQoSWH+UP9D9v3l Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFEGwGlwhofDeWkDMIRAmFiAJ9mlqYlfPBUs1UUZbx4tetfrLTAhwCeOc2V szLSkQPD43HVJlRZUK729PY= =wGRN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --XsQoSWH+UP9D9v3l--
