well that would mean that there is "only" a 1 in 1000 ratio for
voluntary donations / user. And OpenOffice is a "big" software -
most users would probably classify it as more complicated /
complex than Thunderbird (and maybe by extension more in need of
financial support?).<br>

I'd have thought that was about right for voluntary, individual
donations.<br>
<br>
Sadly I don't think it is any (on its own) to fund a project. <br>
<br>
Larger end users might be more inclined to fund significant
donations, if the product does what they need. GPO integration and
remote config/management, Exchange compatibility, transparent
integration from desktop to mobile, etc.<br>

Sadly I don't think that voluntary donations are any way (on their
