Hello, dear web page editors! I've been using Debian for many years and many different purposes, so, of course, I wanted to donate. I went to debian.org, expecting to find a large button on the homepage that allows me to make a one-click donation. I didn't find it, so I started reading the text and eventually found the "Donations" link under "About". When I clicked it, I got to a page that again didn't have a donate button, but instead described another organization, SPI. I started reading and found out SPI handles the donations for Debian. OK, so I went to an entirely different website. Now, they did have a donate button, but there was nothing one-click about it: you have to find the Debian project from a large list of other, unrelated projects, then you have to enter all your credit card details in yet another website, clickandpledge.com, which I don't recognize. At this point I gave up, went back to Google to search for "debian donation paypal", but found only one post about some supposedly Debian address that is registered with PayPal, but also found contradicting information that Debian doesn't accept PayPal and this could be a fraud.
A relatively easy solution could be to move the clickandpledge.com button (from http://www.spi-inc.org/donations/ ) directly to debian.org's homepage with a short description to select the Debian project from the list. If it's possible to accept PayPal, an even better solution would be to just use PayPal's donate button, thus most users will only need one click and their PayPal password, avoiding the point where most users abort their payments (the credit card details entry form). I understand if there's an ideological reason to not accept PayPal, but neither Debian nor SPI said anything about it. Thank you for helping the greatest OS in the world! -- Best Regards, Vladislav Zorov -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-www-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
