The donate page looks substantially better these days - which is
encouraging. I suggest we add the pretty piggy-bank logo on the download
page, at the bottom/right to point at this page too as/when we have
polished it up.

Here would be my suggestions to compress it vertically and make it
somewhat richer:

Did the painting get the better of you - or should I be
subscribed ? :-)
I think the current text is rather good.
I'd sort the SPI link to the top though, and the flatr link below
paypal, and have some side-by-side divs with the huge Fries Office
address & bank details block on the right. Hopefully that'll get it into
a single page.
I also think that something graphical would be really helpful here; a
single rotating image as on the front-page, with a caption of: "how we
spend your money" - with a selection of a pictures:
Image / embedded caption:
Munich Hack-Fest - hack fests to work on the code
Paris / LibreOffice conf - conferences to co-ordinate and excite
generic? server hardware - hardware to host infrastructure
Italo at some conference - travel subsidy for speakers
ODF plug-fest picture - standards work to enhance ODF
Or somesuch ? if people agree, I can help put the images together and
make a mess of them to the point that someone clueful is provoked to do
it right ? :-)
Wrt. the text, I'd move the "we prefer volunteers" rubric from the
bottom up, and say:
"You are encouraged to send cash donations by one of these
channels"
or somesuch, with a bit more cosmetic text tweaking as we put it in
place. How does that sound ?
HTH,
Michael.
