Dear Developers,
We've just finalised our revised sponsorship details. I've written a rough draft in situ to describe the different levels.

Please review the right side panel text, it's very rough draft so it'll need some corrections. You can edit it directly, but please don't publish yet. Bryce needs to confirm the details.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
Thanks for hopping right on this Martin! I've posted the finalization of the sponsorship levels to the board list, that you can use now.
I love the icons, very nice. I agree with Tav that the sidebar could benefit from styling it a bit differently to set it off; poking around the site I see this is consistent with how sidebars are done elsewhere, but maybe a faint light grey background or something could help. Smaller font and icon sizes like Tav suggested might make sense too.
I love the 10 sponsor rotation concept, although that wasn't included in the update we just voted on, so I might suggest to leave that out initially, get the CMS plugin done at your convenience, and then we'll do another sponsorship level vote to make that an additional benefit once its ready.
Maren already mentioned the need to add the news item(s) and merging Platinum and Diamond.
I also agree with Maren the Note section at the bottom is a bit awkward, as it looks like part of the Diamond Scribe level. May be better to keep all of the level-agnostic details up in the intro paragraph. But I think as long as we're diligent about always defining the time duration of items each place they're mentioned, the note is unnecessary.
The link for "email The Inkscape Board" actually goes to webmaster. I don't have an opinion whether we should have them email the board or the webmaster, but the link and text should be consistent. Might be worthwhile to add "...and make your donation <here>" with a link to the paypal page or something?
Thanks again for getting this on the website so quickly, it will be great to have this to show potential sponsors.
Bryce
