Hi all

Apparently some users feel obligated and compelled to donate in order to be
able to download.
http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/29380/how-can-you-say-its-free-when-theres-no-way-to-get-rid-of-the-money-amounts/
http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/23053/why-cant-i-even-start-a-download-i-donated-the-default-amount/

One is actually offering to PAY to skip the donation page on each update
http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/32239/donation-methods/

Please look at the download page (which is by coincidence entitled
Donate...)
http://donate.libreoffice.org/home/dl/win-x86/4.2.2/en-US/LibreOffice_4.2.2_Win_x86.msi

It's a whole page about Donation with a small link to the built-in Help...

Hmmm...

For a Free Open Source software from a Foundation whose goal is to "to
eliminate the digital divide in society by giving everyone access to office
productivity tools free of charge" don't you think that there is too much
pressure on users to donate???

Apparently some users feel that... Maybe the page needs a re-design?

What if the donation information was in a side-bar instead of the main
body of the page? That might help to convey that the donation aspect
of the page is secondary to the download.
