I do think we want to avoid creating a confusing clutter of options,
but I do not think that is a real concern at this point considering
the small number of merchants who have arrangements to sell GNOME
branded merchandise.  This could become more of a concern if the
number of merchants grows significantly, but it does not seem a
serious issue at the moment to me.

I am not sure if it makes sense to promote merchants on the GNOME
front page, but I think we should promote all merchants somewhere
on the GNOME website.  Perhaps a website like http://store.gnome.org/
could contain a link to each merchant.  Then we could link to this
website from sensible places, like the FoG website and perhaps the
GNOME front-door.

Maybe we could do this in a way that doesn't give any one user too many options by breaking it down by region. (Too many options often means people buy none.)
