Unify donation page
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Currently, we have two page for donations:

https://kde.org/donations is supposed to be the entry point for making a donation and link to the one-time donation with Paypal (https://kde.org/community/donations), the recurrent donation system, and the supporting member section for business.

https://kde.org/community/donations is the actual donation for PayPal donation but also links to both other ways to donate + https://kde.org/community/donations/others.php and mention that the donations are tax-deductible in Germany.

For me, both pages serve almost the same purpose and have a lot of duplicate content, so I would be in favor of merging both pages in one. Does the plan make sense? If we merge both pages I would use kde.org/donations because it is shorter.

There is also https://kde.org/donate but this is the same content as https://kde.org/donations. This should also be replaced by a redirect.

My thoughts is that both kde.org/donate.php and kde.org/donations (which are the same contents) were created on the totally unreviewed webpage "facelift" that Ken [and Harald] did back in 2017, they should just go away.

Thanks for information @aacid I don't have much free time nowadays but I could try to work on it next week. I will add you as reviewers then it's done :)

This has now been done (actually for several months already) and all the other URLs redirect to https://kde.org/community/donations/
