commit e18b425874fdf10b98784d1daca0c20b8e50d37c
Author: Jehan <jehan girinstud io>

Update the Donate page.
Our current donation page is a bit of a wall of text. Moreover we agreed
with Mitch during the last video call with the team that we should put
more emphasis on personal fundraisers to help the contributors who want
to get funded for development this way. This is a first step in this
direction.
- Try to make smaller text in some parts. Long explanations are just
drowning the important things in words.
- Add some blue buttons for the 2 personal crowdfundings to have these
pop out of the page (just as we have buttons for download links).
- Improve a bit the text on the 2 fundraisers. More to the point in
particular, I think. Also generalize the text for ours because too
many people think we are just doing animation-related features even
though it has been proven countless times we make improvements
beneficial to all.
- Add a bit of a text explaining what donations through the GNOME
Foundation are used for, so that people know better what they donate
to.
Note: unfortunately I can't really test the website locally lately
because Python 2 is being deprecated everywhere, so I can only check
through the testing web server. I hope the changes are alright
(especially the button parts using html-in-markdown and a new CSS rule).

-## Support Core Team Developers Directly
+Donating money to the GIMP project is easy!
-While we don't raise funds to sponsor development of GIMP as an organization at this time, we encourage our
contributors to run personal fundraisers. Currently there are two such projects.
+## Fund Core Team Developers Directly
-Øyvind Kolås uses Patreon to [raise funds](https://www.patreon.com/pippin) for his work on
[GEGL](http://gegl.org/), GIMP's new sophisticated image processing core. This work is crucial to implement
features such as non-destructive editing in GIMP, including features known as adjustment layers and layer
effects in similar software. Øyvind is the primary developer of GEGL who has been working on it since
mid-2000s.
+While we don't raise funds to sponsor development as an organization yet, we encourage contributor
fundraisers.
-Jehan Pagès runs another [Patreon-hosted campaign](https://www.patreon.com/zemarmot) to raise funds for a
GIMP-powered animated movie, ZeMarmot. Part of the funds is spent on development of [advanced animation
features in GIMP](https://girinstud.io/news/2016/12/zemarmot-end-of-year-report/) and various other features
for professional graphics usage. Jehan is one of the most active contributors to GIMP in recent years who has
fixed countless bugs.

-## Donate to The Project
+1. Øyvind Kolås [raises funds](https://www.patreon.com/pippin) for his work on [GEGL](http://gegl.org/),
GIMP's new sophisticated image processing core. This work is crucial to implement features such as
non-destructive editing in GIMP, including features known as adjustment layers and layer effects in similar
software. Øyvind is the GEGL maintainer and its primary developer who has been working on it since mid-2000s.
-Donating money to the GIMP project is easy! The [GNOME Foundation](https://www.gnome.org/) has graciously
agreed to act as fiscal agents for us. Contributions to the GIMP project can be made by donating to the GNOME
Foundation and specifying the GIMP project as the recipient. The GNOME Foundation is a tax-exempt, non-profit
501(c)(3) organization and all donations are tax-deductible in the USA.
+2. Aryeom and Jehan [raise funds](https://www.patreon.com/zemarmot) for GIMP development and a GIMP-powered
animated movie: *ZeMarmot* (Libre Art, Creative Commons by-sa 4.0 licenses). The funds allow developing
features for professional graphics usage and keeping GIMP bug-free. Jehan is a GIMP maintainer and has been
one of its most active contributors since 2012, while Aryeom designs and tests features in production, in a
professional context.

+So far **donation through GNOME Foundation can only be used for community needs** (conferences, developer
meetings… see [below](#donation-usage)) and material renewal. [If you would rather fund paid development,
favour Core Team developer funding above](#fund-core-team-developers-directly).
You can choose from several options to support GIMP financially:
[TOC]
-Financial help is needed for many different reasons. The annual [Libre Graphics Meeting][lgm] is one of the
things that the money will go to. It helps us to get as many [GIMP Developers](https://wiki.gimp.org/) to the
conference as possible, so that we can do face-to-face team meetings, plan further development, fix bugs, and
write new features.

of donors, this may be considered for exceptional donations.
