Hi, Didn't we have that discussion half a year ago?

Well, almost: "donors" can mean both persons (like many of us on this list) and other entities (e.g. companies donating to the FSFE). I think the correct term for "somebody who gives money" is "sustaining member" (which does nothing to prevent further confusion). > Join = become a Member Not a native speaker, but I thought "Join as a <xyz>" was unambiguous and clear? > Any other words like "Supporter" and "Fellow" appear to be marketing and > need to be qualified whenever they are used in the web site or other > materials. I really don't think that "Supporter" needs to be qualified. True - it's not as narrow a term as "Volunteer", but for a reason. Cheers, Johannes
