Since the app is partly funded by WMF, I agree that sounds right.
The label should make it clear that donation do not go to the app specifically, but to WMF as a whole.
How about a "Donate to the Wikimedia Foundation" link in the "About" menu?

Hi! Can I please work on this issue?
Thanks :-)

[ujjwalagrawal17]

@gupta-meghna64 ok you work on it.

@nicolas-raoul Do you think we should ask WMF Legal first? I mean, I don't see any reason why they'd say no, but given that they requested us to make a very clear disclaimer about the app not being maintained by WMF, it might be somewhat misleading to have this button around.

[VojtechDostal]

I thought about this and I'm rather against. WMF is not actively maintaining the app and we are only financially supported. Adding the link might set a precedent for other projects financially supported by WMF and I don't think that's a good idea.

@misaochan @VojtechDostal @ujjwalagrawal17 Should I close the referenced PR in that case?
Thanks

[misaochan]

Probably best to wait for @nicolas-raoul to get back so we can come to a consensus. I wouldn't spend any more time on this until then though. :)

[nicolas-raoul]

I have no strong feelings one way or another :-)
Actually our users are probably already well aware about WMF's fundraising.

[misaochan]

Probably best to close this, then. Thanks everyone!
