Donating to Apache

Hi Infra - You guys and gals rock,

It struck me this morning after making a comment about 'donating to your 
favourite open source project' that I had not done that this year myself 
- Hypocrite :-[ .

What better than to feed our own stomachs I thought, and headed here - 
http://apache.org/

It then actually took quite some digging (minutes in fact) to finally 
make it here - http://www.apache.org/foundation/contributing.html

I think we really need as a community to get that link on the front page 
at the very top. I'm sure we are missing a lot of 'on a whim' donations 
due to that.

What I'd really like to see is the PayPal and Amazon fields right on the 
front page.

What do you think?

Andy.

+1, together with more visibility on what we do with the donations.

I heard at apacheCon Denver, that there are work ongoing/starting to give
us a new look.
