[Okular-devel] Okular binaries for Win/Mac

[Stian Rødven Eide]

Dear Okular developers,

We have been amazed by the success of our pdfreaders.org campaign, and the 
amount of feedback has been really great. One very common objection though, is 
the difficulty of installing certain programs, the most obvious being Okular 
on Windows and MacOS.

To make it easier for people to choose the best (as in easiest) reader for 
their operating system, we will shortly introduce a recommendation system with 
automatic OS detection. However, with Sumatra being criticised for it's non-
optimal font rendering, and Skim to be removed from the list due to its 
dependency on proprietary rendering libraries, we are really at a loss with 
regards to which readers to recommend for the two non-free operating systems. 
Seeing that Okular is the One True Free Cross-Platform PDF Reader, we were 
wondering whether it would be possible to provide Okular-only binaries for 
Win/Mac that we could link to. It would not only make our lives a whole lot 
easier, but also lead hordes of new users to your amazing piece of software. 
Is this a feasible task?

all the best,
/Stian
