What I'm interested in is why they aren't donating. > I believe we can expect a resonable number of visitors there: It's just a click from the front page and people are curious, of course. Concerning your question: It may be more productive to ask when or why people donate. I can think of the following motivations to donate: * Compassion, Pity - Probably not what we want to communicate. * Gift exchange, Duty - That could be more appropriate. * Appeal: 'Help us GNOME improve' - needs a precise goal (see Firefox's NYT ad campaign) * Gaming, Fun - People like to bet, especially for a good use Most people visiting the 'friends of gnome' page are probably curious first-timers who won't donate in such an early stage of their GNOME career. The popular front-page links are thus wasted. Of course, that's just my opinion.
