Would it make sense to put some of those things under some kind of 
Community-top level (but perhaps called something else)?
I sometimes feel we're having a hard time attracting new contributors, 
so making contributing these kind of things one less click away would 
probably be good.
This would mean:

Get involved (contribute):
* Spread GNOME
* QA
* All the stuff under get involved (but at a higher level) such as 
art&design, a11y, i10n, usability, coding etc.

Community:
* Store
* Donate
* Business
* Public sector

Isn't some level of trust inside the community needed for the first two 
points?
Do we have some clear rules on what the third thing is?
Are the forth perhaps better propagated on the Planet and news.gnome.org 
with links to wiki?
