However, the web site http://www.pdfreaders.org, which I presume you would prefer government web sites point to, isn't really suitable for that purpose. Somebody needs to turn that page into a consumer facing web site with a big simple button (auto-detecting your platform as per the table) to download the recommended PDF software. The table could appear undernath for those who would like options. All the info about ISO and patents is interesting to me, but will make no sense at all to the average person, particularly if they have felt the need to follow a link to download a PDF reader (i.e. they're not exactly geeks). It also needs prominent accessibility information, and you need to be sure that the software you point to will comply with relevant disability laws in the countries you are lobbying. I don't know much about that point, but Adobe provide this information on the page that many government bodies point to: http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/products/acrobat/ Best wishes, Tom Chance -- http://tom.acrewoods.net http://twitter.com/tom_chance _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
