Re: Quick/small Friends of GNOME change

[Stormy Peters <stormy gnome org>]

Thanks for clarifying, Dave.

I'm also open to any other suggestions for adding a give $1 (or any other amount) to http://www.gnome.org/friends.

My main goal is to once again enable folks to give less than <$25.

Stormy is saying that "Philanthropist" shouldn't be "Rich moneybags who
gives us an annual $1M grant" but "Anyone who gives a little".

That's certainly a valid change to make, but might surprise people -
it's not like there are a lot of people lining up to give Philanthropist
level donations, but you'd at least like people who are considering it
to know that it's an option ;)

That said, I suspect that all personal donations over $10,000 will come
through sollicitations rather than unsollicited donations.

Cheers,
Dave.
