As we now wrapped up the PDFreaders campaign, I think it would make
sense to also clean up the infrastructure. So I propose to
- shut down <pdfreaders(a)lists.fsfe.org> and
- forward <contact(a)pdfreaders.org> to <office(a)fsfeurope.org> (or later a
tracker) instead (we still mention that mail alias on
<http://pdfreaders.org/about.en.html>).
- or we completely remove the contact(a)pdfreaders.org and add
office(a)fsfeurope.org (or later a tracker) on the webpage so we don't
have to maintain any @pdfreaders.org e-mail forwardings anymore.
Can you implement your preferred solution?
Best Regards,
Matthias

Dear Jaap,
thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately we are not aware of another Free
Software PDFreader for MacOSX. We had Skim on pdfreaders. However,
unfortunately that particular reader is non-free. While the UI is Free
Software, the renderer is a proprietary library and thus we really
cannot claim that reader to be Free Software. If you find any other
Free Software reader, please let us know so we can add it.

Yes, we know that it is not very convinient.

Did you get in contact with the developers about that?
