Description Remco Rijnders 2011-05-04 17:16:16 CEST

I believe the donations page hasn't been updated in recent months, even though the page claims it is being updated on a weekly base.

Suggestions:

* Update the page;
* Show a last updated date so one knows how actual the figures displayed are;
* Show (on a seperate page?) the actual financial situation of Mageia. Once I know you guys aren't swimming in cash, I might donate again 3:-)
* Link to any reports from the treasurer on this page.

Yep, will see that with Damien.

Available from http://mageia.org/en/about/ - that's still very rough.

> * Link to any reports from the treasurer on this page.

Added. That's a start, but we should find a more fluent design (for updates and readability).

A few minor improvements to the English translation of the Financial Report:

"Wording of the Financial Transaction" use "Transaction description"
"Donations and sells" use "Donations and Sales"
"Cotisations + administrative tasks" use "Fees and Administration Costs"
"Annual cotisation" use "Annual Fee"
"Goodies and accesorizes" use "Goodies and accessories"

In the Forecast for 2011:

"Wording of the financial need" use "Description of planned expenditure"


I assume that the "annual cotisation" is a fee of some kind, although that is not clear. "Cotisation" seems to have various different translations, depending on the nature and purpose of the payment.

Damien, thanks for the update. I'm fine with the page as it currently is and have no other suggestions for improvement. That said, it probably would be easier for you, and closer to reality, if we remove the "updated weekly" part of the page and replace it by "monthly" or leave it out all together and just keep a last update note.
