I have few fixes for the website pages related to contributing to the
project.

Page: '''Donations''' (https://grass.osgeo.org/donations/)

sprint in 2015 (the last event in Vienna, Austria was a great success!).

No specific idea here. Perhaps whole section can be removed as the same
info is later in ''How is the money used?'' section. Or something like
this can be moved there to have a specific goal ahead.

Unify with the text in the ''General GRASS GIS efforts'' section.

The '''Distribution Packages: Development Pages''' needs to be changed to
something like '''Creating binary distributions, packages and
installers''' and mention MS Windows and Mac OS and use some words like
"operating system of your choice".

Perhaps the whole page should be restructured to highlight the possibility
of non-code contributions (it can still clearly specify the need for the
code contributions as well). Perhaps it can mention mailing list activity
and wiki maintenance as well.
