Naming it
donatemakes it unreachable from any of the existing pages. The page hierarchy has has three visible branches from our home pageproject,softwareandhistory. It needs to be hung off one of those to show up.I'd suggest moving it into the
projectfolder. It will then appear as a selection when the user is in the project portion of the web pages.There was a problem hiding this comment.

The
projectfolder looks good but I need to figure how to move a file via the GitHub web interface I used for this PR, which doesn't seem to be possible other than by removing the file and recreating it at the right place.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Based on the discussion in the May 8, 2024 external meeting should the location of the new donations page still be
/content/en/project/donate.md?There was a problem hiding this comment.

I'm not entirely sure what @stumbo has in mind, but if you save put the description at
content/en/project/donate.mdand also addin the initial header of the donate.md page, (I think) that will result in the short form https://interlisp.org/donate/ URL will redirect to the project/donate/ URL.
It is awkward to work on the web site using only the github editor, because there is no way to move files around or test the results of edits without deploying them -- you really need a local install of 'hugo' to do that.

@masinter Yes that will work. I was more concerned that the current name of the page would isolate it and make it unreachable.
Based on our Wednesday discussion, I'm rethinking the whole donate page. I wonder if we should take two approaches. One, put a donate button or icon on the footer of each page. Something along the lines of this:
I'm not sure I like the icon, but it's what was readily available. We could link the icon directly to the Paypal donate page. Secondly, we have a donate page, roughly the one Paolo has created that lives in the project hierarchy and holds information on the organization and all available donation options.

To proceed with creating the donate page I need clarification on this and this.
