Sorry - dbl post -
Just to explain - I realize that the main site already has a banner that
does jump to the donate page - but I'm thinking more of the language
sites. I looked at a half dozen of the sites today specifically for a
donate link. Some link back to the donate page on the main site, some
have no link that I can find. So just thinking that a simple way to get
a link into all of the sites might be the real benefit here.
