[steering-discuss] Donations page ...

Hi Marc,

  So ! thanks for your awesome work around the 3.4features page - very
much appreciated.

  Since you're clearly so effective in making our webpages look pretty, I
was wondering ...

  Is there any chance you could help fix / improve our donations page ?
first - IMHO we need a winsome link to it from the download page (one of
our highest hit-count pages) perhaps:

  "Please consider helping LibreOffice with our mission by
   donating towards our development, travel and marketing
   expenses"

  or whatever :wink:

  And then looking at the donation page we still have these bugs:

  * we don't actually ever ask for money :wink: "please ..."

  * we don't re-assure people that their money will be
    well-spent (or even spent).

  * we recommend the German association, where SPI would
    prolly be a better leading fit for US guys - those should
    be on a par I think: we can spend SPI money more easily I
    think.

  * we don't have any pictures of happy LibreOffice hackers
    or users - it'd be great to dig out a picture of a LinuxTag
    booth, or a FOSDEM stand with some collateral etc.

  Is there any chance you could look into that, I think it'd make a big
difference to our ability to fund travel to conferences, market, and
hopefully start to pay for key infrastructure development.

  Thanks !

    Michael.

Hi,

hopefully start to pay for key infrastructure development.

thanks a lot - indeed, a great idea! Since we don't advertise the challening page anymore, some more prominent information of the donation options would be great, especially on the downloads page.
