The recent LO 6.3 addition of "Tip of the Day" might be the solution 
that we are all looking for.  It has these benefits:

1.) A built-in, discoverable method of disabling the pop-up for those 
who don't want to see the message again.

2.) It cleanly fits the purpose of a "tip" - to points the user to a 
function of the program (help-get involved, help-donate) that they might 
want to learn about and explore

3.) It remove duplication of effort in the codebase.


Moving GetInvolved and Donate notifications into TipOfTheDay would 
return the infobar's status to "you must act on this in order for your 
document to function properly" (like read-only warning, or macro 
disabled warning).  It seems like a much more natural fit as 
"informational tips". Therefore I suggest converting these two infobar 
messages into Tips.

Thanks,

Justin
