To be added once we have the correct details: m:Hardware donation September 2004 and the Squids in France. Angela 22:07, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)


It might be useful to define different tiers of support rather than listing these chronologically. Also, we ought to have some sort of rule on who can get their logo displayed. The FSF use the following classifications [1]:

  • Equipment and Services
  • Patrons ($5000 or more)
  • Sustaining donors ($1000 to $4999)
  • Donors ($500 to $999)
  • Other
  • Corporate Patronage [2]

Corporate Patrons get a page with their logo. Everyone else just gets their name. The 'Other' category is listed as a heading, but currently has no one in it, so I'm not sure what that would be for. Angela


Those donating over 5000 dollars will have their name and logo listed. Between 500 and 4999, just a name. Anthere (via IRC)

The name "contributors" might be confusing. Anthere 22:55, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

It is. We were confused factly on Japanese Wikipedia, when we traslated the Board election :) For them, another name (doner, benefactors etc.) is preferable. --Aphaea 00:44, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
