done. ;-) Reply-to-mangling is a topic on the moderators list, and I 
hope to have a fix in place soon.

I simply forwarded all challenge-pages to the donation page at the 
LibreOffice site itself, so we at least remove the "we don't need any 
more money" notion. ;-)

Cc'ing the website list, as I like that idea.
Can someone have a look on this?

to work on that?

That's exactly what we wanted, indeed. Showing how we actually spend the
