Ads on amarok.kde.org - a new perspective

[Christie Harris]

www.gentoo.org has had unobtrusive advertising on their site for years  
- it's confined to the right-hand column, and each ad is limited to a  
maximum height.
As you know, the right sponsors/partnerships can be very beneficial to  
projects like Amarok, and in my opinion, it would be a very small  
thing to reciprocate the support others give, particularly if it  
facilitates development.

It'd get my support, fwiw.

The KDE page is a great idea - I think people in general are less  
opposed to advertising if they can SEE the contribution that's been/ 
being made. I do oppose advertising simply as a fundraiser though.

Cheers, Christie
