General Info
PDFreaders is a Fellowship project to promote Free PDF readers for all major platforms.
See the pdfreaders.org website.
So what is the plan? You know all those Pages reading sth. like: "The files offered on this site are in the Adobe PDF-Format. To view them you must download the Adobe Acrobat Reader." ? Well, we want them to change the wording and put a second Button beside the Adobebutton which links to http://www.pdfreaders.org.
2012 Web-Site overhaul
Planned Changes to improve usability, extend pdfreaders.org to mobile platforms and browser plugins, as well as many ideas that resulted from discussions with RMS, so that our sister, the FSF can integrate pdfreaders.org into a campaign of theirs.

Discussion of the logo took also place on the mailinglist <discussion AT lists DOT fsfe DOT org> and the logo page
