(Please reply to debian-www; reply-to set accordingly.) Hello,
We received a report in Debian about a dead link from our website to the SPI donations page. Seems that that page was renamed, but in a rather broken way: - if you really want to rename the page to http://www.spi-inc.org/donate, then please also change the internal links on the page itself; the following links near the top of the page are currently broken: - "Donations of money" - "Donations of equipment or services" - "Donations through vendors" - also please consider providing a compatibility link from the old URL - but maybe just revert the rename altogether as there's not a huge difference between "donate" and "donations" anyway The current section about donating money is also not very consistent: - there is an extremely short into - then an address where to send donations (without any real instructions; do you really expect cash to be sent to that address?) - this is followed by "click and pledge"; it is absolutely not clear if this is a service targeted primarily at US donors or if it is also the method of choice for people from other contries - then there is a para for Canadian donors - then there finally is some general info about what will be done with any donated money, but you have to look really hard before you realize that this _is_ general information and does not only apply to Canadian donors - finally there are two very short paras about donations in Europe and Italy I would suggest to change the whole section as follows: - section Donations of money - intro - explanation what will happen with the money and how to mark it for a specific project - create a subsection "Donations via Click & Pledge" - create a subsection "Donations by check" - explain that this is mostly targeted at US and Canadian donors - create a subsection "Donations through foreign partners" Please provide direct links to the proposed subsections so that we can more easily direct potential European donors to the information relevant for them [1]. While looking for a way to contact you I found another dead link on http://www.spi-inc.org/contact: "an individual officer or board member" links to http://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/spi-board-of-directors, which does not exist.
