Description

I’ve been suggested a few times recently that we make it clearer that one can help Tails by donating money: I’m told that the existing “Contribute” button is not enough, as it makes people think more about technical contribution, hiding the monetary support option.

I see different ways to fix this:

  1. Add a “Donate” button to the sidebar, either on all pages, or only on a few selected ones (homepage, download page?).
  2. Rephrase the “Contribute” link’s text.
  3. Add a “Consider donating or contributing” step to the download page.
  4. More?

Note that IMO, this addition is blocked by us adding the Paypal etc. options to our contribute/how/donate page.

I would do that.

> # Rephrase the “Contribute” link’s text.

I’m not sure I get that one, but doing the other two would be enough
already no?

> # Add a “Consider donating or contributing” step to the download page.

Why not do that as well. A bit like Ubuntu :)

Yes.

The addition of this button will need to be reverted, as well as all
the “delete blocks relationship” Redmine actions, once the FPF
fundraiser is over. Not sure we have a ticket that tracks this.
