Re: Quick/small Friends of GNOME change

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

I am not opposed to lowering the Philanthropist amount if we are
finding that few people donate $1200 or more, and if we think
lowering the amount would encourage more people to donate larger
amounts of money.

However, I think there should be a minimum amount.  Just saying "Name
your amount" seems like it would create confusion about what it means
to be a GNOME community philanthropist.
