On the IASIG site, we have a spot that randomly changes for sponsors. I think it use to change each month or so many days.

If I donated $100, would you put a link to my site as credit on the supporters page?

For webteam and Leadership: funny question, but quite serious to ask ourselves. So, for donators/sponsors with bigger donations we need to do something for them in return. At least a logo and link from Donators/Sponsors page?

Of course we need to set rules for that, say 1000 USD for golden sponsor, which can have a logo for year on the top of Sponsors page, etc. See ESUG, they are quite successful on that:

   http://www.esug.org/ (sponsor links)
   http://www.esug.org/Conferences/2008/  (sponsor links again)
   http://www.esug.org/About/Sponsors/Become+a+Sponsor (invitation)

What do you think?

IASIG=Interactive Audio Special Interest Group and from browsing this site I don't understand how IASIG is connected with Squeak and our sponsors?

You probably mean the rotating Featured Sponsor add on the first IASIG page. So this can be an idea for our site too?

I like the idea of a Sponsors page, but I think that our home page is too busy to put it there.

It could be a small box that housed this week's sponsor's logo

If we make links section shorter as suggested, we'll actually have a place for rotating logo there. Below links and above Squeak powered logo. A whole page will also be balanced nicely, that is left and right part.
