Still doesn't work. One should not jump through hoops to be able to donate to Ubuntu.

Worse, if you go through a search engine (for example, by putting in the terms "ubuntu donate") then the page mentioned above is the very first result.

 But that page is really one part of a chain of pages - it is clearly part of the download process as a whole. So why does it even show up in the search engines, if it's unusable on its own? Presumably donation only works if you go back to the start of the download process and continue from there (I assume, I haven't tried it yet but I will).

One obvious solution would be to create a separate, stand-alone donation page and then make sure that it becomes the #1 result in the search engines.
