[DRAFT] OpenOffice fundraising page
A while back I mentioned that I was interested in putting up a
donation page targeted toward end users of OpenOffice. I wanted to
take a subset of of the material from the ASF pages [1] [2], strip out
the stuff related to corporate donations, and put a new page in a
place where OpenOffice users would be more likely to see it.
You cans see a draft of this page here:
http://www.openoffice.org/donations.html
Please send along any corrections, concerns, etc. I'd like to go live
with this later this week, in time to benefit from the end of
year/holiday giving spirit.
Also, if you think you can do much better, in terms of the text, the
pitch, the look, the layout, etc., then we can set up multiple
versions of this page, and do A/B testing to see which version
performs best with real users. If you want to send me an alternative
version, you can base it on the source from my version [3].

Thanks. I have a link to it from the announcement at the top of each
page. But that is just temporary.
There is a permanent link at the bottom of the page, in the footer,
but I don't think that will be seen by many users.
I wonder whether it would make sense to include it in the design of
the home page, another one of the "I want to ..." choices? If so we
would need an appropriate image. Not sure what that would be though.
I see that many causes have a social networking aspect to donations as
well. See this query for example:
https://twitter.com/search?q=I%27ve%20donated&src=typd
That kind of personal recommendation could be useful.

I am fine with this, it reads well and give all the needed information.
The headline "Volunteer Opportunities with the Apache OpenOffice
Project" overlap the underlying when you resize the page (small
devices). It's a minor issue but maybe we can shorten the sentence.
