It is a big improvement over the last design, which was already great. A few ideas, not necessarily connected to your design, though: * We might want to highlight the amounts that our friends will eventually contribute a bit more. You don't see how much we ask a friend to give until you click one of the buttons. That might put some potential friends off. * I think Stormy made this great deal with LWN and we will give out an LWN subscription for the first 500 subscribers in 2011 or so. This does not seem to be highlighted anywhere on the page. * Not a big deal, but can we remove the T-Shirt size after a friend has chosen not to receive a gift? * Jaap did these great Amazon search plugins for Firefox and Epiphany. We might want to promote these in addition to the Gnome store. I think that there is a lot more potential in these plugins than in a store purchase, because people might do one purchase at the store and then forget but will keep the search plugin around like forever. Also, at least in Germany, Amazon did add the referral fee to the prices at the stores the last time I looked, so the search plugins might be a better deal for our friends. * Finally, I think that the FoG program is a bit US centric right now. There might be a lot of potential that we miss here. We might want to translate the page into multiple languages. We might want to check, if we can find charitable organizations in other jurisdictions that would be willing to take donations on our behalf and then spend it on Gnome love (think of Wau Holland Foundation as an example, who does this for Wikileaks ;). That way, a FoG donation would be tax-deductible in more jurisdictions or we could offer some other kinds of money transfer that is more common in a jurisdiction. Also, it should be technically possible to detect where our friends are coming from and convert the amount into their currency. Maybe just provide a box to choose the currency. For some friends, it may not be obvious that Paypal will convert to their native currency or they just wont take the hassle to convert it themselves beforehand to check if it is a feasible amount for them to spend. Anyway, keep up the good work. Cheers! :-) Patrick -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk0jnlYACgkQFBnImAM5roFkYACg6rShwpCluWwzph89OJy+1/RW 7OAAoIYaIy9Lcz/kz0WYbdSvt8vPY+iD =fr6Y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
