From Stian Rødven Eide, 2009-02-10:
The proposed changes are:
Highlight "recommended" readers.
- With a light green background?
- Only for Win/Mac?
- Only one reader for each?
- We should probably come up with some text to explain how it works.
Remove footnote #[2]
Change Sumatra download link to point directly to the exe file.
- I don't think this is a good idea as long as the exe file name includes
the version number.
- Add more readers
- ePDFview (I think all agreed to add this one)
- BePDF (the same goes for this)
- Vindaloo (I don't think we discussed this one. It's also runs natively
on Mac and it would be nice with a contender for Skim)
- Add page about PDF and Open Standards
- I'm still working on this and will probably not be able to finish it
this week.
- Anything I have forgotten?
It seems one more thing showed up. As you probably noticed it was suggested by Gervase Markham, and echoed by Rainer, that we change "please contact us" to something like "please contact us at feedback@pdfreaders.org", i.e. making it more visible that it actually is a contact link. Do you all agree that this is a good idea?
We should also reply to Gervase, but I'm not really sure what we should say. As was the conclusion of our previous discussion, "usability" is secondary to having sufficient and correct information and it is not a goal in itself to have people "automatically" installing *any* free reader. Is this something that we can state publicly and give as an answer to people who ask about these issues?
all the best, /Stian
