​So a third button besides "Download now" and "Support QGIS"? If so, we
need a short and sweet button text, something like "Fund new features".

​Do you mean this about http://qgis.org/en/site/about/index.html?

We could implement the crowdfundings page similar to the "latest news
section" on the qgis.org front page which pulls the information from a
simple feed file. That makes it easier to maintain.

​A prominent link on the website certainly helps but I think most of the
money is raised by actively talking about the crowd-funding initiatives on
mailing lists and social media.
I think we have Twitter covered quite well. Does anyone who is on Facebook
know how we are doing there?

Best wishes,
Anita
