Hi,

Here's a simple tip from Eclipse on how to increase donations:  "Ask for a
donation when the download is occurring, not when a user is browsing the
project site."

I just started hacking a simple download script. I am really no developer, so it is really just a very very quick shot, but how about that:

From the official download page, we currently redirect to download.documentfoundation.org which involves MirrorBrain. Making MirrorBrain show something while downloading does not work easily.

However, how about we simply changed that link to some redirection script, that first shows the download page and then invokes the download itself?

Here's how this could look like:
http://kermit.documentfoundation.org/DownloadRedirect.php?target=http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/4.0.2/win/x86/LibreOffice_4.0.2_Win_x86.msi

@Admins: Feel free to have a look at the PHP script. I am *really* no developer, so please don't laugh. ;-) You'll find it in /var/www/sites/kermit.documentfoundation.org/DownloadRedirect.php

Thoughts?
Florian
