Hi, I've got a first version of the amazon store online. I'd like to have some feedback and consensus where to go from here.
The shop is online at http://www.gnome.org/friends/amazon/ If you are using Firefox you see a highlight on the search box. Clicking on it enables you to add the "Amazon.com GNOME" search engine. It's just like the normal search engine as shipped with Firefox only the affiliate is set such that the GNOME foundation gets a percentage of the subsequent sale. Basically the idea is to stimulate GNOME lovers to buy their stuff at the GNOME amazon store and/or use the "Amazon.com GNOME" search plugin. Does anybody know if the fees received for the plugin are the same as for a shop. I can't find anything about it on the amazon site. Seems to be a fixed percentage per product. I've also added the other shop outside the US http://www.gnome.org/friends/amazon/ca http://www.gnome.org/friends/amazon/de http://www.gnome.org/friends/amazon/fr http://www.gnome.org/friends/amazon/jp http://www.gnome.org/friends/amazon/uk These pages don't contain a shop yet (I prefer to have some feedback first), but they contain the search engine already. A note. I can't do much about how the shop looks. I'm just embedding http://astore.amazon.com/gnomestore-20 in a iframe. Amazon just allows me to play with some colors, fonts and which categories I want to add Things I'm still planning on doing 1) Switching between the shops by putting links to the other shops on each of the shop pages 2) Add a link to the firefox extension I talked about earlier. I already submitted it to addons.mozilla.org 3) Add a link on which you can click to install the searchplugin Let me know your thoughts.
