Hi all,
thx for the input, more welcome. Gwen and I made a suggestion to deactivate the new pop-up for now and engage in a discussion about how to make the intended statement in a way everybody feels alright with (and how many times on one page). We'll let you know how things evolve ...
Best
John

Hi,I think:1) we do not need to reinforce our need for donations in such a short message ("a non-profit that survives on donations"), but maybe it's my European shyness and proudness speaking;2) it's inappropriate to say "if you love this content" then donate to us: if the user loves the content it should donate to the creator; our linkage should be to the legal and tech infrastructure only;3) the sentence would sound better like this: "This content is freely available under simple legal terms thanks to Creative Commons, the non-profit behind the creation of this license. If you love that you can easily share this content with everyone, please consider a donation to support our work."As to the duplicated messages, I would keep the orange banner because a) it's more visible and b) I have to scroll down to read the other one.Cheers,Teresa

I'll put the general problem on the agenda for the next all-staff call. Regarding the present wording I'll try to find out more via Jay.BestJohnOn Thu, Jun 4, 2015 at 10:05 AM, Maarten Zeinstra <mz AT kl.nl> wrote:Hi Gwen and John,I think this discussion thread would be appropriate for my question.I was presented with a newly to translated sentence in Transifex this morning: “This content is freely available under simple legal terms because of Creative Commons, a non-profit that survives on donations. If you love this content, and love that it's free for everyone, please consider a donation to support our work.” To me this translates not very well in Dutch as it seems to claim some sort of ownership by CC of the licensed material. Do other European languages have this problem as well?Also, and we’ve requested this numerous times before, can we please make new translations available before changes are made to the live site? Having a combination between Dutch and English deed pages is frustrating to me as it reflect poorly on cc.nlFinally, the new functionality on the deed pages looks really horrendous, I understand that CC Global needs to make more money, but is this dual message on all deed pages the correct way to go? We should remove at least one of these duplicate messages.Cheers,MaartenOn 22 May 2015, at 17:37 , Gwen Franck <gwen AT creativecommons.org> wrote:_______________________________________________--Hi all,here's the next invitation to send us wishes/input for the upcoming all-staff call on Tuesday evening.
