what about this:
Quote:
When a viewer is developed, several possibilities exist:- The viewer can be installed by any iLiad user (even non-developers) on the iLiad internal memory, that can be accessed using the USB connection to the PC, allowing developers to distribute their viewer to all iLiad users.
- iRex may decide to formally support the viewer as a default viewer for a specific document type. If an iLiad user tries to open content that requires this viewer, but that is not yet available on its iLiad, through iDS the viewer can be made available automatically at the next connect cycle.
- A combination of the above.

They could add a option in the settings, like "include homebrew viewers" , default set to off, so if one knows he needs a homebrew viewer, he enables that option. On the next iDS sync he gets a menu for selecting "homebrew viewers" he would like to use. Think of a interface similar to the common package managers on Linux or, for something simpler, a list similar to Windows Software list with a "+" and "-" button for each entry.
