Re: [libreoffice-marketing] donation page draft

Hi :)
I can see the point but "uncountable" tends to be used to mean infinite rather than just an 
ever-changing number.  Also that draws too much attention to some of the fears that mainstream 
people have of voluntary projects, ie that they are unreliable and can't be trusted.  

I think keep "thousands" even though it might be inaccurate.  There probably are tons more, as Cor 
seems to be suggesting, but it keeps it within mainstreamer's limited understanding of the way 
things work.  Once they become more familiar with OpenSource projects they might begin to see how 
it is possible to run such a vast project as LO and how people are assets (even ones that disagree 
with each other) rather than troublesome irritations.  

Regards from
Tom :)

In stead of 'thousands of volunteers', I would suggest 'a uncountable number of'

Very good idea!
