...and we (Lily team) may need to rethink our strategies as well.
Ben, we have this website about sponsoring Lily development:
http://www.lilypond.org/sponsoring.html
should we make it more visible? or should we make it more clear how
it works?
If I were the sole designer/developer of the web page, I'd put a big
star-shaped Donate! or Sponsor! button clearly visible on the front
page. Tiny, personal projects do it all the time.
Ah, but this is not a tiny, personal project. We discussed this before,
and putting a "Donate to David" button on a central LilyPond page was
deemed inappropriate. And just to make this very clear: _I_ consider it
inappropriate as well. "Donating to the LilyPond project" and "Donating
to David" are separate things, and I don't want any mechanism in place
where the first is more or less silently converted into the second.
That's true, but a "Sponsor!" or "Support Us!" button that redirects
to
http://www.lilypond.org/sponsoring.html
would make it easier to find the place where the money goes to. Than again, one
can
decide whether to donate money, picks up a name on the "interested developers"
list
(that's the easy part ;-) and makes his/her donation.
