In an effort to decrease the confusion about which file to download
when testing snapshots, I've changed the way I iterate through them in the
snapshot directory.. it should be much more "human readable" now. Please let
me know if it could be improved further.
I am also revamping the download page as well, for the same sorts of
concerns. We now have so many different kinds of files to choose from
(viewer, parser, desktop, translations, docs, source code, etc.) If anybody
here is adept at creating validated XHTML, and want to help lay out that
information better, please send me samples..
Starting with the 1.8 release, I will also be making "press kits"
for others to use to further advertise Plucker to their own communities.
Feel free to use this information to spread to your own forums, websites and
other communities. You can see one example here for the 1.8 release:
http://downloads.plkr.org/1.8/release.html
Note that this release.html file is not "true" HTML, in that it is
missing the start and end tags that signify a valid HTML document, but that
is because it is used to nest within other sites for advertising, such as
Palmgear. Improvements to the layout of that are also welcome.
Lastly.. as summer approaches, I will be further tightening up the
code that runs the Plucker website, including all of the ancillary Perl
tools currently running alongside it (pler; the email reflector, pdf2pl;
converting pdf to Plucker, and so on). Suggestions for new features and
options are encouraged for those items, and any other tools you think we
could use to promote and assist other Plucker users. I will also be
aggressively attacking the documentation as well.. and I'll need some help
from translators to translate the documentation into other native languages.
If anyone has any other items they'd like me to help out with,
please speak up.. I'm here to lend a hand where I can, and where time
permits.
For those celebrating, have a great holiday weekend!
