OK, here is a draft for the general page about the Hackfest: https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/hackfest/?edit (Note that you must be connected to see it.)
I barely wrote anything actually; mostly removed what was specific to this year and moved the sentences for something more generic. I only added two sentences with a list in the middle.
Is it enough? I edited the French page symmetrically.

Oh ok. Yeah, that seems like a good idea. Where would this new page live?
Yes, I can help with proofing.
Idea (fwiw) What about keeping kind of a Hackfest History on this page? Nothing fancy. Just say when and where, how many hackers. I like the idea of telling users which issues were worked on. Although in a different message thread, Martin didn't think it was necessary. For me, I think it could help drive donations, if users can see what kind of work was being done. It could be very simplistic description.
All best, brynn

Hi Everyone, I'm coming late to this discussion, and I'm not sure exactly what it's about. What problem is trying to be solved? Or new feature created?
- No new feature, just talking about creating an all-year-round
replacement of the Hackfest donation page, which can be shown when we're not collecting money for a specific hackfest, only for hackfests in general.
If Sylvain writes the text, would you as a native speaker help him with proofreading?
I'll take care of the menu and page moving when the replacement page is ready.
There seems to be some caching involved, and maybe some permissions stuff. I can't test for the permissions on my local development version (and there's no staging area anymore, where we could try things like these out...).
Does anyone have any objections against this proposed page?
Kind Regards, Maren
Thanks, brynn

- That's weird, my update scanner never had a problem accessing the
page, and the page's history doesn't say anything about unpublishing. I hope you didn't find yet another bug... :/
If something like that happens again, please notify the admins, so we can try to find out what's going on. The page wasn't supposed to be inaccessible.
I'm so sorry… I looked at the pages on the admin interface, and saw a gray disc for the Hackfest page in English. I launched another browser for fresh user data (I always clear everything at closing, I'm crazy), and went on inkscape.org, selected English, then the Hackfest menu item. I got the 404 page.
- Thanks!!!
No more 404.
- I think you should have the permissions (if it doesn't work, just
ping Martin or me to get them).
Go to the 'pages' page in the admin interface, and make sure the page is as wide as possible (hope you're using a 16:9 screen, on mine it's really difficult. It doesn't seem to work correctly if I just zoom out - the request for a scrollbar is already reported...). Then click on the check icon in the 'Menu' column near the end to turn it into a 'no entry' sign.
I have two screens, 16:9 and 16:10. 3600 pixels from the left to the right of my computer desktop. I clicked and got the ‘no entry’ sign (a minus sign). But then, nothing… the menu entry is still there.
and we may publish a general page about the
hackfest instead which would remain permanently accessible. So first, someone should do the move.
- I think it's better to have the replacement ready first. It doesn't
need to be on the menu while it's being created, or even be published.
The move I referred to is to put the Hackfest 2016 page out of the menu, then out of the ‘Home’ page node, as the Hackfest 2016 page is. Actually… I can do that move, that's just a drag'n'drop. But the menu entry is still here (and it appears next to ‘Support us’ after the move, so I reverted — and the server needs a long time to update its cache, it makes me afraid)…
Consequently, we would need someone to write that page.
- Would you like to have a go, Sylvain? Our native speakers (and I, as
good as I can) will surely help with proofreading, so you wouldn't need to worry about any 'wrong' phrasing. You could duplicate the current page and take it as a template.
Ow, that's already so hard to write an e-mail in English and trying to appear as a credible translator… I'm fluent at reading English but it's hard to bear those moments when I'm stuck because I know I can't express something correctly. Hard life. I may try this weekend if nobody else takes the task. -- Sylvain
