Hi Michel,

- In the windows column of the pdfreaders.org page, the first offered
software is Okular. It seems that the KDE installer is not a bad thing, but it leads to a complex operation for the user : two softwares to install. OK there's a little note explaining it, but..
I've heard that some KDE people will push for a stand-a-lone installer of Okular.
- If we take a look at the simpliest : Sumatra, you arrive in an also
complex page where just under the binary installer commes a zip with the sources => if the user is reassured by the zip which may be less scaring than the exe, he'll be downloading sources !
- And another big concern is that none of the related pages are
translated, so pdfreaders.org may do for english speaking people, but will be a showstopper for all others !
Things we could do to bettern the campaign :
- Present the software with a special first line with the simpliest
ones to install, for each platform (win and mac)
- get in touch with the site maintainers of the related projects to
help them : - ease the presentation of their download page, maybe by making a new page "download for dumbs" - translate those pages !
All good points, thanks for the summar!
