Yes! Definitely! At download time is the best time while people are 
waiting for the download to complete. We should be careful to not take 
the spotlight away from the request for donations (apparently that is 
really working out), but, if we could add one other request page or 
somehow integrate it with the donations page, we could ask if the user 
would be interested in helping out with our community.

I am also a firm believer in telling people that we are really looking 
for help with the project and that any type of help is welcome and for 
any amount of time they may have to contribute, whether 5 minutes a 
day/week etc.

BTW ... with respect to including this at the installation point of 
LibreOffice, we had already discussed this, but the final decision was 
that people did not want to be disturbed by requests when the software 
was being installed. That is why there is no polling done at the point 
of installation as it was done previously with OOo.

But, at the download point, where people stare at the computer screen 
waiting for the download to complete, yes, this is a good place to ask 
if people would be interested in joining our communities.

Cheers,

Marc
