- Shortening of URL. Can you update DNS so that xx.pdfreaders.org

What page are you talking about ?
The translated pages are called: www.pdfreaders.org/index.xx.html where xx is the language code.
Eg. Norwgian bokmål is: http://www.pdfreaders.org/index.nb.html
What I am suggesting is making http://nb.pdfreaders.org an alias for http://www.pdfreaders.org/index.nb.html with similar aliases for other translations - so the Danish would be: http://da.pdfreaders.org which would show http://www.pdfreaders.org/index.da.html when the page has been translated.
To do this you need to add nb.pdfreaders.org and da.pdfreaders.org to DNS and to the webserver config and make a redirection to the other webpage. This can be done in a lot of different ways. Let me know if this is still unclear.
This would of course be possible, but there is a point because of which it may not be needed. Indeed, our main page http://pdfreaders.org automatically redirects the visitor to http://pdfreaders.org/index.xx.html, where xx is guessed from the user agent (if I guess correctly, but I might be wrong, I would have to go check).
This way, you just have to point people to http://pdfreaders.org and they will be served with a language-adapted index page. Do you have cases in which this is not sufficient or fit?
Please be however aware, that for FSFE part, we cannot go on expanding the list [1] nor reopen the form that helped by the collection of institutions. Still if you have time to work with Danish institutions, we would be really happy to see progress there, and would help the best we can to make it happen !
I have no idea what you meant by that paragraph. If it is important can you elaborate on what you meant by it?
Maëlle meant that we had phases in our campaign. The first of those was to ask people to report urls of "faulting" institutions. The second was to send letters to these institutions. The current one is to wait for them to change their pages and follow progress. For this reason, we are not going to redo any of the first two steps (until next time we launch the campaign).
Therefore, if you want to contact new institutions, you will have to contact them and gather the results (and the pride ;)) yourself. We can do little more than announcing your positive results, if you want.
Thanks, Nico
