Hi, I just learned about and downloaded my free version of LibreOffice and was taken to a page where a donation was requested. Let me suggest that that page also include an email prompt with the text "Let me test drive LibreOffice for 30 days and then ask me for a donation".
Hi Bob, this is not exactly the place to discuss this but thanks a lot for your feedback. In fact, the product is made available for free, no need to make a donation to have it. But we offer you to support the Foundation and not only the product but the community work. I'm closing this issue, don't hesitate to continue the discussion on the website mailing list if you want to. The info to join it are described here http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/ Thanks again - Kind regards - Sophie
