Hello,
Thank you for the PDFreaders campaign, btw.
I've just read there http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.28/
that Gnome PDF reader, Evince, is now available for Microsoft Windows.
I think you would like to update it for the website. Unfortunately I
have nothing else to give you, I don't know where to download it for
Microsoft Windows, but I'm sure you know where to look.
Best regards
Hugo

New feedback from the "Hacking for Christ"-*****.
Can someone call this "feedback" any longer:
"It's probably a good idea to scare Regular Users(tm) off with bad site
usability. It keeps them away from the complete and utter unusability of
all the linked PDF readers,..."
Should we rethink our stragety to include all free software readers even
if they are very bad?
What about the Yap installer, is there really no .exe in it? We should
check that soon and update the page afterwards.
Greetings
HennR

Apalled by the 250 MB size of Adobe's reader, I tried all links at
pdfreaders.org. Sumatra is OK but the rest, I'm afraid, can only serv to
give "Regular Users"(tm) the impression that free software is inferior
stuff that only nerds can put up with.
Sumatra - good installability and usability although it doesn't render
quite as well as Adobes bloatware.
Okular - haven't tried it, because the kde.org has been down all day.
Having read Kevin's post, I'm not going to bother with it anyway. Not worth
the hassle.
MuPDF - simply too primitive. Renders OK, but has no menu, no features,
nothing. You can't even set the page view to continous.
Yap - no installability at all. Download the Windows zip files, and you
won't find any executable file anywhere. There's no readme either, so
Regular Users(tm) wouldn't know what to do. TBH, I don't know what to do
with a few source code files and a GNU makefile on a Windows system either.
It's probably a good idea to scare Regular Users(tm) off with bad site
usability. It keeps them away from the complete and utter unusability of
all the linked PDF readers, SumatraPDF excepted. The best I can say about
the site, is that they had the good judgement not to include GSView, which
is totally usnuitable for anyone but the geekiest of geeks.

Hi Fellows,
I justed wanted to show you what 4min of writing an email can do:
https://naturstrom.de/kunde-werden/jetzt-wechseln.html
They even removed the Adobe-Button! For the non-Germans on the list,
Naturstrom is one of the biggest 100%-Renewable-Energy-Suppliers in
Germany.
They wrote that they think Free Software is important and they happily
support us :)
Maybe we should really spend more time trying to convince webmasters now
that the site is already perceived so well.
I for my part haven't yet done too much work writing to webmasters…
Regards,
Hannes
P.S: Didn't we have a wiki-page documenting site that link to us?

Hallo Herr Hauswedell,
vielen Dank für den Hinweis. Der Adobe Reader ist ja mit der Zeit so zum
Standard geworden, dass man darüber gar nicht mehr nachdenkt ...
Freie Software ist eine sehr sinnvolle Sache, die wir gerne
unterstützen.
