Hi list,
I've put the development version of pdfreaders.org online on the campaign server. This site is supposed to automatically recognize the visitors OS and browser and suggest a specific reader for the operating system, preferably one which comes with a plugin for the browser. The matching is based on User-Agent-String of the browser, there is no JavaScript involved.
This said, visit: http://alpha.pdfr.plutonium.fsfeurope.org
Even though I wish it were more, I'd rather consider this a raw skeleton for a matching system which still needs a lot of tweaking and some programming work.
Report anything you find, even the obvious things on http://trac.fsfe.org, component: PDFreaders.org I expect this to be *a lot*. There is plenty to do, and you all could help me by providing a checklist. When you find bugs concerning the reader selection, don't forget to mention your Browser and user-agent string.
The code of the site can currently be checked out from http://svn.plutz.net/pdfreaders We were building upon the "webgen" build system of the current pdfreaders.org site, which was probably a mistake, since webgen can be quite annoying and changed it's behavior frequently over past versions.
@System-Hackers: can you provide a pdfreaders repository on svn.fsfe.org? I'd like to move this repository away from my own server, to a place where other people can contribute. ___________________________________________________________ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
