Hi devs and everyone,

Emilie has proposed the following content to be added to the Download page 
(http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download):

http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/TextDownload

The idea is twofold:
1) to get feedback about what people think about our software.
2) some people who download the XWiki software from xwiki.org don't know that 
XWiki SAS has a commercial offerings and could be interested by it

The pros for the community are:
1) XWiki SAS will publish back the result of the feedback it receives from the 
download form which will allow us to fine tune and improve the software
2) XWiki SAS could get more business (from people who want to buy support, dev 
work, hosting, etc) which will mean accrued budget for paying developers and 
resources to work on the XWiki project

Note 1: the form would be of course optional
Note 2: in the future I'd like to see a not for profit foundation to handle 
xwiki.org, the xwiki open source project, donations, etc. When this happens we 
could elect from member for the foundation and have the feedback form sent to 
that foundation for example, with members of the foundation having access to 
the data (for example).

WDYT?

Thanks
-Vincent Massol, acting as both CTO of XWiki SAS and XWiki open source developer
