Ian has suggested that we might benefit from some of the standard marketing 
wisdom.

Our donate button should be orange, according to some online resources. 
Somebody want to have a go?

Arguably the donate button isn't visible because users go straight to the 
install button? Dunno what to do about this...

We should have a link under or above the Donate button. The CSS may make this 
tricky.

It might make sense to reorganise the donate page a bit:
- Does everyone know/have paypal? (apart from geeks who have bitcoins) - should 
we include credit card icons? Where would we get them from (legally)?
- Should it be more compact?

And ideally we would A/B-test things.

(Note that we have absolutely no resources for advertising, and running other 
people's adverts for cash is not something we will do unless we have no other 
choice!)

Having said that, IMHO the best ways to get more users and more donations in 
the medium term are:
- To improve Freenet's performance.
- To make it easier to invite your friends to Freenet.
- To get more volunteers and more content.
