Hello all,
I have planned the following services for which I would like to get your 
feedback:

GetDeb Supporter Services
The GetDeb Supporter Services will be a pilot service with the goal of 
providing better services for all users, but providing special access 
conditions to active supporters.
We require funding to expand our operations, so we'd like to appreciate 
our active supporters.

The benefits for all users will be:
- More and better software packages
- Better experience with major improvements in our site

The special conditions will be:
- Higher access priority for new packages - new packages will be 
exclusively available for Supporters during 3 days after it's release
- Increased bandwidth for downloads - Supporter releases will be 
provided by the master server
- Higher priority on packaging support requests

Supporter status will be granted to:
- Active developers/packagers/translators (2 months after their last 
contribution)
- Donators, using a 5 €/month rate
The status will be retroactively granted upon request.

With this support services the expectation is to increase interest by 
potential supporters and raise reasonable revenue, there are several 
projects like getdebi, playdeb and major website improvements that need 
further investment.

This will be a pilot service, it's continuity will be assessed with 
based on users/supporters feedback.
