I would also support the idea of keeping the "Get Involved" menu title 
as well as the sub-menu detailing the contributing groups to the 
project. The obvious listing of them would be in alphabetical order in 
order to avoid any concerns of showing preference to one group over 
another from a "public view" perspective -- the Donate button should 
show at the end of the group listing.

Should we not also list the "Localisation" group here as well as they 
form part of the LibreOffice contributing arms of the distro?
