http://drupal.org/contribute has at least one broken link - in the Donate Money section, the Donate Now link is broken - not sure where it should be going, but probably to somewhere on the association site?

I'm also wondering if it might make sense to mention something about sponsoring development, since that is a way that many many companies contribute to the well-being of Drupal core and its modules.

all these are orphaned pages in the docs book structures:

http://drupal.org/contribute/testing
http://drupal.org/contribute/usability
http://drupal.org/contribute/donations
http://drupal.org/contribute/themes
http://drupal.org/contribute/marketing

(but there don't seem to be any other broken links)

I've created a redirect for anyone that goes to node/2227 gets redirected, but we still need to fix it on the page as well.

Looks like the /contribute page link has been updated ... what to do with these orphaned pages?

* http://drupal.org/contribute/donations prob goes best in the FAQ. I've updated the page content & title.
* http://drupal.org/contribute/marketing - could prob get rid of this page and redirect it to http://drupal.org/node/9067

The rest of these could go somewhere in the Getting Involved guide?

*http://drupal.org/contribute/testing - move to getting involved?
* http://drupal.org/contribute/usability - is super out of date. http://drupal.org/getting-involved links to http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupal-core/usability
* http://drupal.org/contribute/themes - Hmmm, move or delte?

@lisa i think a lot of them really were placeholders or something, that were never fully completed.

- testing - that or... should we put in the testing/simpeltest section? http://drupal.org/simpletest
- marketing - agreed
- usability - not sure, that page hasn't been updated for 5 months or so... not sure it's very current
- themes - could move into theme guide?

The testing page is telling people they can help out by testing and trying out Drupal, so it doesn't belong in the Simpletest section (which is about writing automated tests).

ezra-g pinged to say that http://drupal.org/contribute/usability is 404. Seems is has for some time, possibly since it was deleted 2011 #1194078: Several pages in the Getting Involved section are orphaned
so I've redirected it to http://groups.drupal.org/usability
