Re: Revisiting rewards for the FoG campaigns

[Rosanna Yuen <zana gnome org>]

Does anyone remember when it was revamped?  The levels used to be:
$10 - Friend  (mousepad)
$25 - Associate  (mug)
$50 - Benefactor  (t-shirt)
$250 - Sponsor
$500 - Patron

but it was decided that that was too many options, especially when we
added the subscription format.  Also, considering the postage, the price
points were too low.

Apologies if I'm not being clear, I am very muddle-headed with a head
cold right now.  Let me know if I can help provide any other numbers
that may be relevant.

Thanks,
Rosanna
