All,
I will look into the T&C of Paypal's subscriptions and summarize them
here.

Guy,
I agree with you. I think providing some transparency on the
terms for those who want to cancel is a good idea.
Me too. I've heard it's difficult to cancel. I've even had people
email me asking me to cancel their subscription for them and there's
no way we can do that - they have to do it through Paypal.
People have also had questions about when will the money first come
out? when will it come out every month? etc.
On a different note - if we are providing more monthly options
for subscriptions, should we providing more / different gifts
for those who subscribe at a higher level? Stormy has created
the Zazzle account, and Andreas and the art team are working
on some artwork we can add to the various merchandise. I
don't know how we fulfill orders at the end of the year, but
it's just an idea.
I'd say let's keep it simple. While I think some gifts are popular
(like stickers) and people pick the minimum amount that enables them
to get that gift, I don't think most people donate for the gift.
The idea behind the tshirt was that it was unique to Friends of GNOME,
so people can wear it to show their support.

Yes, that's possible, we would just need to expose
"t3" (Day, Week,
Month or Year). Only Month and Year make sense.
A question to the group this raised to me. We might
want to have some
language here about how people would manage their
"Donation
Subscription". Say something has a crunch or
something, we might want to
know when they sign up how to deal with resigning or
things like that
(would seem like a nice this to make them aware of).
Exposing some of
the terms and conditions from Paypal might be a good
idea.
What do you think?

I emailed you already, I will be happy to do that.

Sure.

In order to do this, we will need to introduce some
JavaScript
dependency on the page to 'compose the form post based
on user input.
If we are ok with that, I am happy to prototype it
(should take 1 hour
or so). Right now the form is very clean and HTML only
meaning it would
work on virtually ANY browser and be totally
accessible though I have
not tried. Adding JS might alter that. Let me know if
we want to proceed
with this and I can get it done.
Best,
-Guy
