Hi everyone,
I've created a new version of the mockups. The latest version is a lot
more polished than the previous one. I've made an effort to make the
text nice (thanks to Andreas for your suggestions there), for example.

Looks good, Allan. Much more succinct than before.
Comments and questions:
• I've added the postcards back, but stickers and t-shirts are still
deliberately absent.
• How does the LWN subscription work? How do donors find out how to
use it? This is missing from the mockups at the moment.
I can ask Nathan if you like?
• The questionnaire at the end would require that we set up
infrastructure to record the answers and produce reports and so on. If
we don't have that, we could skip the questionnaire page for now (it
would be nice though).
• The current main page includes the text "GNOME Foundation is a
501(c)3 non-profit organization, and your donation is considered
charitable to the extent of applicable law. Consult your tax preparer
to determine tax-deductibility." I don't really like the legalese
here, particularly "to the extend of applicable law" - I certainly
don't know what it means. And "tax preparer" is an odd term. And a lot
of people don't have a "tax preparer" - it would be good to give an
indication of how they might proceed to claim the tax back.
• All the images were picked in a hurry. Some probably aren't correct
so we will need to find better ones.
Ask a tax consultant perhaps? Consult your local tax expert?
• I'm uncertain about one time donations, particularly how much
exposure we give them. I know that many charitable organisations
deliberately push people towards subscriptions. Maybe we shouldn't
give it as much exposure.
It depends.. one time donations are useful if we are doing something goal based. But sometimes people might find something they really liked in a release and want to exuberantly give to GNOME because of it without having to set up a subscription. I don't think we want to lose those kind of people just for the same of subscription.
