Thanks Fabian for your offer to share these.

I myself am not in favour of posting these on our wiki pages as, 
although they do mention LibreOffice they also mention other projects 
that have no relationship with LibreOffice. I am in favour of providing 
some text that could be used in formulating invitations to join our 
membership, but as far as the personal aspect of inviting people that 
one knows, this should really be left to the individual sender to create.

This would be different, of course, if we were on a marketing campaign. 
In this case I would be interested in seeing different mock-ups of 
possible text. But this would be done in conjunction with a marketing 
team tasked with such a particular project, with Italo's supervision.

Perhaps we could work on some material that our membership could find 
useful should they decide to send out personal invitations if you think 
this would be helpful. However, I think that our website should have 
enough information available to put together enough of a convincing 
argument to join our membership.

In fact, I am of the opinion that once a person lands on any particular 
site, if they cannot see/find any usefulness for their own 
interest/purposes, then it is not for them. This, in my opinion, is what 
our site should attempt to accomplish: a convincing argument on landing 
at our site, within little delay, and with clear objectives of the 
LibreOffice suite -- downloading should also be easily done. I also hold 
the same opinion on software.

Cheers

Marc
