Re: wgo pages

I don't think it merits it's own top level page ....

Would it make sense to just have links to it (maybe the badges) from Home, Get Involved and About?

So let's talk about this for a second - when you look at the top level navigation at the test site you have, from left to right:

Home / Get Involved / Get Started / Take the Tour / About

Should we be adding a new tab?  "Donate?"  I personally don't recommend "Support" - to me that always shouts "get tech support", but I'd love to hear other opinions.

If we create a new top level page for it, what goes there?  Right now. under About we have this page: http://gnome.rehfisch.de/about/foundation that just explains the Foundation at a high level and links to foundation.gnome.org.  If we have some kind of "Donate" page do we have:

* Friends of GNOME
* Sponsors (break out the logos from http://foundation.gnome.org/ at the bottom)

What else?

One thing I might recommend is to break out Friends of GNOME and / or "Donate" from "Get Involved".  To me, Get Involved is about helping and writing code, docs or translations.  While the Friends of GNOME program could fit in here, do we want a more prominent position that includes Friends of GNOME, and some of the discussion about corporate partners (including different levels of donations for them and a page of their logos) similar to the discussion that's being discussed on the marketing list.

I agree. To me "Get involved" is how do I get involved in the project and should have everything from writing code to translating to helping out at conferences but should not be focused on donations.

I think (but certainly don't know) that people that have a project they want to have included in GNOME are likely to know lots of GNOME people and ask on IRC or something, not search on the website.
