[libreoffice-website] Choice of words on the wiki funding banner
Sorry to be so picky, but, I find the and help us funding the Foundation a little awkward in English. Would it not be better grammatically to use and help us fund the Foundation?

Hi all, sorry for not replying with thread,, the message body is getting garbled. On 6:59 AM, Christoph Noack wrote: Cool, thanks for the proposal ... and moreover, thanks for jumping especially since your time is limited (as I know very well). Thanks Christoph, I've got a quick break in my research so I can pitch in a little more this week. I might go into details in a personal email, but the outcome was good! =) So I have 1 week of free time Besides, this is a somewhat urgent LibO matter right? (the fund-raising) So, I'd like to ask you for holding the breath (more or less), so that I can collect everything I'm aware about on a wiki page. I hope that this will make our life much easier ... it worked very well for the icons, so let's do that for the banner as well. Even if it costs another few hours. Agreed? Sure, thanks for doing that! In the mean time, people mentioned images for the donations pages would be helpful. I've created 2 cartoon images that might be useful (or maybe not =). It's a piggy-bank and a coin-stack, they aren't great or many, but it's all I could get done in a couple of hours =( Here is the preview PNG; http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Donation_preview.png and here is the SVG; http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/cgi_img_auth.php/5/56/TDF_donationCartoons.svg Hope you find a use for them somewhere (on donation webpages/banners). If they are useful I'll make more. If you do use them, make sure they are small otherwise the subtle flaws will be more visible. Ah, and Nik, is there a chance to borrow some minutes of your precious time for some focused discussion or to get the source of your proposal? Pfft precious time, you're priceless Christoph =) I've uploaded the PSD here; http://tdf.nikashsingh.com/misc/FundraisingBanner_Cleaner.psd Consider it whatever license will allow you to do whatever you need with it, attribution-less, no-rights-reserved kinda deal. I'd be happy to join a focused discussion too. Actually I have a whole buncha stuff I've been saving up for a chat on the Design-list.

Re: Re: Re: [libreoffice-website] Banner for website
Hi all, before replying to Nik, I'd like to announce some general things and ask for help as well :-) I've updated the Banner wiki page: * Added the proposals/discussions by Bernhard (his last mail) * Updated the web banner graphics: * according Bernhard's proposal it now uses the color Green for external banners * Logo position improved, added slightly more detail * Added Nik's sweet graphics @ native speakers (David?): Could you please proofread the texts for the banners: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/FoundationChallenge#Text_Development After that, it would be great if people could add some translations - if banners are needed in different languages. @ Paulo, Nik: If you have some time, could you please dive into working on the missing graphics? It would be great if you could coordinate this on this list, to avoid doubled effort. If you miss the time, I'll jump in tomorrow ... but I'd like to work on other less visible funding stuff :-\ The missing items are listed here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/FoundationChallenge#Required_Items Finally, here is the recent web banner - but since the Wiki seems to dislike me today, I had to use text links on the wiki page: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/cgi_img_auth.php/5/58/LibreOffice_FoundationChallenge_WebBanner_728x90.png Am Samstag, den 19.02.2011, 02:06 +1100 schrieb Nik: On 6:59 AM, Christoph Noack wrote: Cool, thanks for the proposal ... and moreover, thanks for jumping especially since your time is limited (as I know very well).

I picked a cloverleaf at OpenClipart.org, adapted the colors, adapted it and ... here is a draft.
