But, currently, I think that people who donate to the GNOME Foundation are not always aware that the money isn't primarily used for development (at least that was the case for me when I was just a simple user years ago). So by listing other fundraisings on the GNOME website, this would maybe have the effect that the GNOME Foundation receives less donations. -- Sébastien
