Thanks a lot for the offer! You're more than welcome to join the efforts.

Thankfully the current performance problem wasn't directly related to
silverstripe itself, but rather a problem with zend (that it
silverstripe uses).

But as you're fluent with silverstripe, I have a task for you, if you'd like :-)

The code for the Download page is written very silverstripe-like, so
it could need some love, and more especially a nicer way to switch
languages and/or versions.

To be precise:
* current situation:
1) User goes to http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ with his
Linux-PC, but wants to download for Windows for relatives/friends.
2) User has to click "change system, version or langauge"
3) User has to pick OS,
4) User has to pick language from a rather long list
5) User has to pick version
6) User can download.

Same applies when user wants to download an additional language
* should be situation
1) User goes to http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ with his Linux-PC
2) User clicks a "change OS" link,
3) overlay or in-page area offers available os, user clicks on windows
4) page offers windows downloads now, user can download.

Similar for version and language.
So the task is to get rid of the separate pages, most often the user
will only change one of the three at once.

The code is here:
https://github.com/tdf/cms-code

(mysite/code/DownloadSimplePage.php &
/blob/master/mysite/code/DownloadSimplePage.php mostly)

I'd be very happy if you could work on that. I'll setup the planned
playground-VM and can grant you shell-access to that machine for
testing.

ciao
Christian
