Hi Stian,

I agree with your basic premise that promotion of Free Software is the ultimate goal, but believe that this goal is often better served by not putting the message in focus. The best promotion campains are the ones that doesn't look like promotion campains, so yes, my suggestion is to have pdfreaders.org *appear* like a download-portal, albeit a rather unique one. For one thing, I suspect many businesses and organisations will be reluctant to link to the page as it is now because they don't want to scare their customers/potential members with text they "might not understand".
I think those organisation will also not link to the page, because the PDF readers are technically not as good as Adobe Acrobat Reader.
So do you suggest to keep:
There are many programs to read and write PDF documents. The following list of PDF readers is vendor neutral. All of them are Free Software [to use study share improve...]
[list]
Other proprietary alternatives to Adobe’s PDF reader also exist, but like it, their internal working is a a trade secret and these programs do not respect your right to control your own privacy and data.
On the entry page and move the rest to about?
Best wishes, Matthias
