Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Website EasyHack: Ask users to contribute while they are running their download

Hi :)
Limiting the invasiveness (is that a word?) to just 3 questions makes this sound a lot less 
annoying especially if they are all going to be on the same page.  I think it needs to be made 
clear that the questions can be skipped without affecting the install or anything and that there 
are other ways of joining in later or of backing out or switching areas later without getting 
penalised.  
Regards from
Tom :)
