/about/patrons/

[chadwhitacre]

This would be a dedicated page explaining how to use Gittip as a patron. Suggested by Hope Leman in her critique. Should cross-link to /for/companies/ (#894) and /for/non-profits/ (#1057).

Should this be /for/giving-money-every-week/, per #1234?

[tshepang]

I don't like adding every-week to this. It makes this overlong and you can always mention the every week thing on that page. Rather leave it at /for/giving-money, but I prefer /for/patrons. The only issue with the latter is that many people don't know what a patron is.

[mvdkleijn]

The /for/giving... url suggests its for completing some action. The /for/patrons url correctly suggests its an informational page. (since it has no verb)

/for/donors or /for/sponsors are possible alternatives though the word patron seems to be more appropriate and recognized more and more.

Closing in light of our decision to shut down Gratipay.

Thank you all for a great run, and I'm sorry it didn't work out! 😞 💃
