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?

Every NA-DVD .iso file [and made ones] have the official Donation Page
link on the top of each of its browser-based pages. I do not know if
that will help with online donations, but it could not hurt. I have
made mine via the donation page. Also if any money comes to TDF from
the Lulu.com books, then I have made some there as well.
