Keep them both ... the banner appeals to people who go into the page often
and don't read the "small letters" anymore and the button of course is a
advantage.
I think the page would be cluttered then, but if someone can come up
with a nice graphical solution, I don't object, of course ;)
Well, I don't know why if you are going to put it on the front page you
would stop there - put it in the header, in such a way as to get it on
every page _and_ in every language.
I as well would opt for the header - but no matter whether as
replacement for the banner or in the header - the donation form needs
some styling love.
I don't know what elements are required by paypal rules or whether you
are free to style the form whatever you want.
http://www.videolan.org/ includes a paypal logo, but otherwise is
styled freely...
As I'm not the designer type, please someone come up with a nice style
for a input + a submit button/link that can be used. (or better input
for value + currency selection + submit). Maximum height of the header
is 88px, height of the current banner is 64px
hmm - what about instead of a paypal button, which links directly to
paypal, a donate button in the header which links to our contribute
page? (Some donate page would need to be available in all language sites
then, of course.)
It would be a fast thing to do.
(just a graphic image, and a div on the right side of header, perhaps,
for it)
We would be able to see if this if it's enough, in short order - I think
that right now a problem is that the donate page is too well hidden :)
