Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: trouble downloading

Hi :)
Don't worry about donating even if you do get it working!

There are many different ways to donate anyway.  Many people work hard on
this list, to help with user-support, or in other areas of the project such
as QA (bug triage), documentation, marketing, design, websites and some
even do coding work.  All donating their time for free.  Of course there
are other people getting paid to work on those tasks by some of the various
different companies that use LibreOffice (or/and OpenOffice).  Another way
to donate is to buy 1 or a few of the Published Guides from the Lulu
bookstore.

The donations page is there to catch people after the download has started
and to give them something less boring to look at while they are waiting
for the download to complete.  We had a long discussion on the marketing
list about where to put it.  Some people were worried that were it is now
might make people feel forced to donate but none of the other options were
perfect either and that actually turned out to be the most similar to what
other projects do and the least hassly.  The download should start shortly
after the page appears regardless of whether you choose to donate or not or
at least it should be about as obvious as we can make it that it's easy to
download without donating.

Regards from
Tom :)
