The latest patio11 podcast reminded me of this comment. Great that you added a sharable link! However I can’t seem to find it on the frontpage or any other likely place.

And related to that thread: how does one find out about how to donate when there is no fundraiser? I cannot find any info on the About page or FAQ page. If someone wants to donate in a couple of months when this post is not as visible, how will they find the donation link?
I don’t know if adding a donation link to FAQ and About will make much of a difference in practice. I suspect it won’t since that depends on people more spontaneously realizing they want to donate. But it seems pretty relevant to the complaint raised in the tweet thread that people only donate when you do large dramatic calls for funding. I think it wouldn’t hurt to lessen the friction and make it easier to find out how to donate.
I’ve never looked at the Leaderboard so I missed that it had been added there. In my experience this kind of info is usually available under a section called something like About, Support, Donate or FAQ for most orgs. So I only checked About and FAQ and expect most other people would do the same, so it’s probably useful to add the donation info there as well.
I would also expect many people to use the search function to look for info on how to support so you might want to consider how easy it is to find that way too.
