Sorry about that, the list is pdfreaders@lists.fsfe.… but you can just send to feedback(@)pdfreaders.org that redirects to our list and allows posting from non-members!
OK, right, so as we can't actually join the discussion on the closed pdfreaders list and the blog evilly locks out visually-impaired users, can we just continue discussion on discussion@ please?
It works and I'd really welcome this being discussed openly. pdfreaders.org is a great site and really useful in helping people realise that the Microsoft/Adobe/... system is not the only one.
I would like to support Erik Albers's point that only offering a single recommendation on the homepage defeats the recent work asking people to stop the Adobe adverts;
- and also note that the viewing platform may not be the one we want a recommendation for.

Vindaloo still works fine on GNU/Linux - the frontend may not have been updated since 2005, but the underlying Poppler library has, so the app's kept improving in use. It isn't currently listed for "Free Operating Systems" (why not?). I can't comment on OSX - I'd expect it to work there, but I don't know of current OSX binaries for it.
Is there a download site with an AlternateReader binary with a current certificate? 1.08(4) failed to install for me, giving an "Expired Certificate" error.
The site probably shouldn't recommend Evince or Okular to someone not using Gnome or KDE already, as it'll seem like a really big install.
Thanks for your work on this,
