Yes, I agree, which is why the "Get involved" infobar button points to this general page, rather than one specifically about coding: https://www.libreoffice.org/community/get-involved/ This page tries to highlight the many different ways to get involved, and has non-coding "bite-size tasks" at the start too. > So, yes, I am for this.

That's the current setup that we're using, so you think it's best to leave it like that -- is that right? > To be transparent of these info-bars, I would like it to appear > somewhere on the official LibreOffice site where the frequency is shown > and perhaps also the rationale for the frequency and a good explanation > of what is meant as "Get Involved" and "Donate ..."

The https://www.libreoffice.org/donate/ page that we link to has an infographic on the right showing what the money is being used for, and some text underneath about the non-profit status. There's also a link to "financials and budget", although it's further down the right-hand column. We're working on a website redesign now, so maybe we can make those more prominent on the donate page...
