Right now we are being directed from the Steering Committee 
(http://www.documentfoundation.org/foundation/) and Italo is our 
marketing guru. You may want to speak to him. -- Marc

As you can very well tell from the responses to your kind offer, we are 
taking a closer look at the size of LibreOffice and I believe that this 
will probably become more of an official issue as we go along. We are 
still very much in the planning stages and getting ready for the first 
release, so there is a lot to take into consideration at this point.

Download instructions for dial-ups are always helpful. We could maybe 
post them to a FAQ for dial-up users. Thanks again for the offer.
