We're having quite a debate on the JSF Members list today. (http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/members/) The main topic is certification of open-source Jabber projects. There are at least two types of certifications being discussed, and I'll go over them very briefly:
1) Certification. You would have several levels. I'm proposing the bare minimum would be 100% XMPP compliance. Beyond that you would have multiple levels, and some would be pertinent to clients, others to servers, and perhaps still others would apply to tools, libraries, and other categories. An example is that you can get your XMPP button, and if you like, go for a Silver ribbon which means you meet XMPP, plus Basic and Intermediate IM Suite JEPs. (That's a totally made up example, no real decisions have been made at this oint.) 2) Official JSF Projects. This proposal would entail the JSF voting on naming multiple projects, as "official". It would be a badge of honor. It's assumed (by me anyway) that you would have to meet some level of certification to become eligible. Why am I telling you this? Well Rachel tells us that she and Julian tried to get certification going a while ago and it went down in flames when brought up here on JDEV. So, let it be known that round #2 of certification is coming. Based on the outline I've given above (which again is just based on a single day of discussion) would you just absolutely freak out if this were to be implemented? Or would you say "about time!"? -1 / 0 / +1 ? -- Psi webmaster (http://psi-im.org) im:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://halr9000.com _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev
