<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Jeff, you are right. When you downloaded, there used to be a
popping dialog inviting you to contribute or something like that
(TBH I personally did not read it anymore, but at least it
showed people that it's not just about clicking and downloading
a software). That dialog doesn't open anymore, and I'm not also
aware of a discussion about removing it. I didn't see it in
online official channels but maybe was it discussed during an
in-person meeting, in Firenze? Or just an unnoticed side effect?<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>
<div>Harrissou<br>

mean to send this feedback to those who manage the QGIS website,
and <br>
not to start a disagreement on who prefers what. I simply want
to share <br>
my feelings direct with the website team)<br>
<br>
I truly feel that the uniqueness and feeling that we all got,
when <br>
clicking 'download' on <a href="http://qgis.org"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">qgis.org</a> and then seeing
the smiling faces of <br>
those attending the first QGIS Users Conference, in Nødebo, as I
awaited <br>
the download to complete, was very special.<br>
<br>
I download hundreds, thousands, millions of software, since I
started <br>
this FOSS4G game, back in 2000, but I can honestly say that the
QGIS <br>
website popping up the first users conference group photo after
you <br>
download the software, was one of a kind.<br>
<br>
I noticed in the past few months some tickets on "simplify
download <br>
page" in the 'QGIS-Website' repository, but I don't see where
this <br>
change was made exactly.<br>
<br>
Was that made on purpose? Did I miss this discussion here
possibly? <br>
Was the person making that change aware how special that feature
is, in <br>
the global FOSS4G community?<br>
<br>
Well sometimes feedback is needed, so please send along my
feedback, <br>
that that little download magic, was very special, and I wish it
to be <br>
reinstated.<br>
<br>
That's my wish :)<br>
<br>
Likely this message is discarded, but I purposely sent this
message to a <br>
low traffic list, to not cause troubles for the maintainers.
So, <br>
discarding is fine too.<br>
<br>
However, that small users conference image appearing as I
download QGIS, <br>
gave me a nice warm feeling about being a part of the FOSS4G
community.<br>
<br>
Ok, thanks for listening,<br>
