Re: [libreoffice-website] Re: Increasing Donations

I do have an idea, why not along side the download like mysql site has it
it asks you if you want to register on their site, or continue to the
download, why dont we do something similar to that where it will show and
ask the user if they would like to donate offering them the appropriate
options if not they can go directly to the download.
