Leaving ‘By all accounts, past hackfests were a huge success:’ with the years going looks a bit suspicious;
- You mean, because we still need them, even though they've been such
huge successes ;-) ?
No. Because the hackfest page is a generic page, on which you’ll leave the text without reflecting again about it. Then such an elegant sentence looks manipulating and inappropriate.
- Mmh, thank you for explaining. I never saw it like that. Just as one more English marketing phrase that isn't easily translated to a more ... 'sober' language like German.
What would you suggest instead?
A modest description phrase, such as: ‘Till now, we’ve run the following hackfests:’
- What would you think of something more like:
'Find out what Inkscapers achieved at previous hackfests:'
We want donations, so stating that there were achievements, and that users can see proof of them, seems a good idea to me. We don't need to go overboard, of course :)
Note that the growing number of links will make clear that the hackfests are successful anyway — :).
- Ah, I hope people aren't easily fooled by quantity vs. quality ;-) Although we have both! ;-)
It would be better like that to me, standing on factual declarations.
Thank you, Sylvain, Maren
