overhaul donate options
Add a new /donate page, listing all our options and a preference for the free platforms Liberapay and open collective.
This also makes it clear that all other donations go to F-Droid Ltd.
Overhaul the donate sidebar, remove everything except opencollective and liberapay, add a 'more' link to the /donate page.
Finally add a redirect after downloading F-Droid to the donate page. Thunderbird did a similar thing and bumped up their donations by an order of magnitude or so. This should be fairly unobtrusive and it only works with js enabled.
WiP because:
-
I'd like feedback from others if this drastic change in presenting the donations is something we want to do? And do we want to do it now? There are many upsides to having the donations come to the opencollective (transparency, the core team can allocate them for other things than infrastructure, etc.) but there are also a few downsides: there's a 10-20% fee on opencollective. And while liberapay has less fees the funds there go to individuals and not to an f-droid org (until we solve admin#165)
-
I want to test the redirect thing on different browsers. there's a comment on the Thunderbird page stating:
// MSIE and Edge cancel the download prompt on redirect, so just leave them out.
So we'll probably need to add this as well.
