Hi Florian, Christoph Yup - well, I read all those same, earlier, emails about this and promptly sat on my hands. I read over the challenge site again last night (early this morning) and it really does rather make it sound like there is not much need for more $$$ when we all know reality is always closer to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzOidHfvOCs > > Same on my side ... but just the small comment that "contribution" (in > terms of donating) might be misleading within a FLOSS project.

I could put a temporary English page, for now, on the LibreOffice site - set to _not_ display a menu. This morning I perused a few other sites going over their well thought out pitches...putting a draft together and copying the paypal link (stuff) form one of the existing pages on tdf.org should not take very long - if that is more pleasing to folks. //drew -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to website+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
