Hi,

Apologies, it appears that you have been caught by mistake in the
anti-spam subsystem for the wiki. I've just whitelisted you now - if
you try again it should work fine.

Bug#705209: www.debian.org: Ask for a donation while people are downloading Debian

2013-04-11 Thread Brian Gupta
Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
Zack suggested filing as a bug in a discussion on
debian-sponsors-discuss. Please see
lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-sponsors-discuss/Week-of-Mon-20130408/22.html
for more info.

In summary it seems Eclipse is asking people to donate to the project
during downloads, and that has significantly increased donations. The
thought is that this seems like a great idea that we should also do.

So, my pointer was mainly some "related work" for a list where we are
broadly discussing how to consolidate Debian fund raising in various
ways, including donations.

I think it is probably premature to implement this right away,
especially because I'd like to gather more opinions from the list
participants first. OTOH, it might be something as simple as adding a
link to the donation page and a sentence about it from the download
page. I don't particularly fancy shiny and "aggressive" banners to
encourage people to download, but it seems smart to simply *remind*
people that we live up on donation at the moment they decide to try out
the result of our work.

Feel free to keep this bug around for future thoughts, comment, or close
it, as you see fit.

Cheers.

You just posted the URL to a public mailing list, probably increasing 
its rank in search engines. Removing that message now is probably too 
late, but you have to ask ow...@bugs.debian.org for that anyway.

Kind regards,
