Lacks WP:A

I disagreed with the Wikipedia:Proposed deletion template, and removed it. The article was proposed for deletion because of lack of attribution. Well, right now the article only lists features of the program, and they can be found in the project's official site. If that isn't a reliable source, I wonder what is such. The official site likely lists the features of the program more correctly than Internet blogs or news sites.

By the way, there are articles about the program in several Linux blogs, because Midori is nowadays part of Ubuntu Linux distribution.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] That gives some notability for the program. 82.203.170.158 (talk) 16:26, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What's more it's part of XFCE now. Seems like good notability to me too. [8] Lloeki (talk) 13:40, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gallery images

The gallery needs to be fixed so that the acid2 and acid3 images display properly (they're cut off as it is now). I can't quite figure out how to fix this...too much of a WP newb, I guess. --Luinfana (talk) 20:36, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Despite the display properties of the acid2/3 image, there should be an decision, if these pictures are necessary. A notice in written form and link to the Acid3 test page should be fully sufficient. Deleting and undoing again and again is no solution.

Midori?

Midori means Green in Japanese. Isn't that an obvious reference to the main page? It's green-ish, and it seems like this name was chosen for a choice? Anyone else agree? moocowsrule 05:38, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

crossplatform?

it claims it is crossplatform, but i do not see any windows or mac downloads, do i have to compile it from source on those os or is it linux only? if so it should be changed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sebbex (talk • contribs) 18:45, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is not Linux-only, as it certainly works on FreeBSD and possibly other BSDs, too, plus probably on other UNIX-like platforms. It could probably work on Windows and Mac OS X, too (like other GTK+ programs), but there are no precompiled binaries available.—J. M. (talk) 21:22, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is cross-platform from a developers' perspective, not from a users' perspective (unless you count hacker users). I'm not sure if there is a Wikipedia rule that says you can only call it cross-platform if there are pre-compiled binaries available. -- 41.177.9.83 (talk) 09:41, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
