.... Following the first link I would like to suggest changing two things:
- there still is a link to Brion Vibbers notebook fund at the very end of the
page. Don't get me wrong, Brion deserves a lot more money than he probably gets through donations, but linking to a page which seems to be outdated doesn't look good to me.
The link now goes directly to a PayPal payment form instead of Brion's outdated notebook fund page. I plan to add other developers in that section as well. More changes and improvements are also planned for the new WMF website that Brion is helping us set up.
- the fundraising page doesn't contain information how much money we are
aiming for. A potential donator would just see that we have ~20 K$ on our account and many probably will think "well, they probably have enough money".
That is because 1) We don't have an approved budget 2) This is not a real fund drive (the message is en.wikipedia specific)
