The comments received so far are:
- Footer translation
- Moving text to "about"
Which text?
Most of the text on the front page actually. My suggestion is to move all "propaganda" (which would probably be the three first paragraphs and the FSFE-links) to a separate about-page. This will make the front page less terrifying for luddites, and it would create an appearance of the site as "an helpful overview of PDF-readers" rather than "a pr-stunt for FSFE". (Note that I'm not suggesting pdfreaders.org is a pr-stunt, but I'm quite sure many people will read it that way.)
- Fixing css and adding wrappers for ie compatibility
Last time I checked it looked good with IE.
It doesn't look too bad, but not exactly identical with what standards-compliant browsers show. The main bugs are the lack of margins and centering, and there are rather simple workarounds to fix them (although they require <div>-wrappers in the html).
- Alphabetize the readers
- Add more buttons (+ sources and license)
- localised version on the localised pages
Does anyone know whether there's a simple way of doing this with webgen? It would be preferable to not having to enter different filenames on the different languages, but rather having webgen fetch the graphic with the filename that corresponds with the language.
- Add more readers? GSview? Gnupdf.org
- sumatra pdf portable
- gnupdf is not a reader, it should be included in the "more information" part with the link they sent us for call for developers.
How about GSview? It is licensed under Aladding Free Public License[1]. It is arguably a Free license (at least, the arguments against proprietary software on pdfreaders.org does not apply to it), but as it cannot be distributed for a fee, it is not accepted by the FSF.
