we are currently preparing a major update to PDFReaders.org, adding:
- a more appealing and cleaner "home"-page, with *one
recommendation* for the auto-detected platform
do you really think that is a good idea to have just one recommendation for the auto-detected platform?
Please join us on the pdf-readers list to discuss this, as we will lose track of different discussions else!
Thanks for commenting Erik!!
This is a valid criticism, and we discussed it before. The result was: * we do not advertise one reader, but different readers for different platforms by different people, AND we are not affiliated with the creators, so we are more neutral * we also only advertise Free Software readers anyway, so were not completely neutral in "market" sense before either * we could discuss recommending at random one out of two or three if that many are available and equally useful (usually we are happy to be able to recommend one, but for evince and sumatra this might make sense) * in any case the gain in usability will greatly outweigh the negative effects
What do you think? Especially about the third * ?
