Subject: [Slackdocs] Links to the old Slackware Store
Message-ID: <20200810111125.ebfd5cb27c04b8a3cfb86559@ellendhel.net>

Hi,

This is kind of late, but I realized that there is a fair amount
of references to the old Slackware store (store.slackware.com)
on the wiki.

I have removed two references in the French section (there is still
more) and from a quick search there is plenty of results in various
other sections.

What would be the "official" guidelines here? With what do we want
to replace those links with? To my knowledge, the following URLs
would be appropriate:

 - https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/volkerdi to financially support
Pat and Slackware

 - https://www.patreon.com/slackwarelinux/overview, same thing

 - https://www.cafepress.com/volkerdi, to buy some Slackware swag

Sincerely,

Hi Xavier,

You are right, this should be fixed.
All three links are valid but the Patreon page is the most important one
and if the Store link needs to be replaced, it should be with the Patreon
URL.
I will find a place in the Slackware section where we can add the rest of
the information and URLS (including the linuxquestions.org posts that are
relevant to the story of the Store's demise);

Cheers, Eric

Understood. I should be able to do few more replacements using this
in the French Slackware FAQ and other pages, if any.

I will an eye on this and create links and translations as needed.

Thanks for your help.
