donations: copy content from https://wiki.haskell.org/Donate_to_Haskell.org #73

This contributes to #59, moving authoritative content from the wiki to the primary haskell.org website.

We can update with commits to clean it up, but ATM this is the content from that page, more or less as-is.

After this is cleaned up and live, we can then update the wiki page to replace its content with a link back to this donations page on haskell.org.

Thanks for the PR. I had a couple of notes that I think could help improve this if you are up for making some edits.

I went to edit/update the wiki page at https://wiki.haskell.org/Donate_to_Haskell.org, to point it towards https://www.haskell.org/donations/ and this PR, but that page is not editable by regular contributors, so we are again blocked on wiki admins who have not been very helpful in making these updates (just as with #64). This process is tiresome. No wonder the wiki is so poorly maintained!

Those pages, as I explained, were protected not because we wanted to, but because others complained they could not trust their "officialness" if not locked. Any haskell.org committee member has always been able to request permissions to their account to edit such pages. Nobody has explicitly contacted the admins to get such permissions. Emily has a wiki account and I made sure she got permissions the other day, but I imagine she is quite busy.

Since pages now on the haskell.org website now exist and supersede the older wiki ones, I have now unlocked the wiki pages. Hopefully that should help in sorting this out.

@gbaz, At least with respect to helping me contribute meaningful updates to the community infrastructure, your actions to help and unblock are much more valuable, useful, and appreciated than your explanations of why something is the way that it is.

Thank you for unblocking those two pages so we can complete this task.

I have updated https://wiki.haskell.org/Donate_to_Haskell.org to point to both https://www.haskell.org/donations/ and this PR. When the PR is merged, we can either drop the PR link from the wiki article, or leave it if people think there's value in doing so.

Going to go ahead and approve for now to unblock the work and then we can take a second pass to clean up the wording late. Thanks for all the work on the contribution!

The formatting here seems off. Shouldn't How to donate and Contact be headings?

Given the new text the old sentence "Haskell.org, Inc. is a non-profit registered in New York, dedicated to promoting educational and scientific progress around the Haskell programming language." seems redundant. Should it be removed?

I assume the committee, or other contributors can clean that up. I did not want to get bogged down in wordsmithing.. my goal is primarily to ensure there is one canonical page for this type of authoritative content (and merging what's on the wiki is a first step). Feel free to add commits in a new PR, or to suggest some specific change in this PR.

Please address at least headings formatting. I'm flexible on whether removing the now-redundant sentence should be left for a second PR.

This PR strictly improves the status quo so I suggest it be merged.

There's more to do after this so let's try to move quickly and maintain momentum.
