Re: Friends of GNOME subscription enhancements

[Stormy Peters <stormy gnome org>]

Thanks!

Can I suggest a minor word change? We should include the word "Donate" prominently since that's what people might be looking for.

"Donate to help support the GNOME Foundation's goal to provide a free desktop for all users - become a Friend of GNOME"
or
"Donate - help support the GNOME Foundation's goal to provide a free desktop for all users - become a Friend of GNOME"
or it could go in the title:
"Donate - Become a Friend of GNOME!"

Two minor things:

• There's an extra space after the Friends section.
• We should end the title in a "!" for consistency.

Not sure if this paragraph header fits, but here's a first draft, using similar copy from the Friends page:

Become a Friend of GNOME

Help support the GNOME Foundation's goal to provide a free desktop for all users - become a Friend of GNOME. Your donation will ensure that GNOME continues to be a free and open source desktop.  Learn more and become a Friend of GNOME today!  (With links to www.gnome.org/friends in the last sentence)

June data is out, and subscriptions went way down:  http://blogs.gnome.org/foundation/2009/07/21/friends-of-gnome-update-3/

I thought it was interesting that subscriptions was the same (100) for May and June.

In addition to some of the updates to the program Stormy mentions below that Jaap volunteered to help with, there are a few more things that have been discussed that I was hoping to follow up on:

* Thermometer - shows donation data as it grows (Shaun & Andreas, I believe you were working on this?  Any updates?)

Still in progress. I still need to do graphics for a vertical thing as well.
Will ping Shaumn again and ask about how things are going for him.

* Add a "Donate" button to the footer of gnome.org (For example, Gimp at http://www.gimp.org/ has one right in their right hand navigation)

I was thinking of doing it as a header between "What is GNOME?" and "Get GNOME t-shirts"
Any ideas for the text?
