Hello Abdel, I have been thinking about it and wanted to ask...if we contribute 500EUR towards your website, can you mention us on this page http://www.lyx.org/GetInvolved and say that we are your supporters? The problem for us is that if we appear on your sponsors page then we risk getting bombarded by other companies asking for donations. But if you mention us very discretely on the "Getting involved" page then it will be OK. What do you think?
