Not really - is is directly linked from the main page via "I want to 
participate in OpenOffice.org".

My question was about the wording - should we make more clear on the 
main page, that people interested in donating money should click on that 
link?

Do they feel like participants in OOo?
"Feel free to contribute" (The last part of the sub-line) is probably 
more helpful, but is this enough?

Best regards
