I agree that what you are talking about is arguably even more important than what the criteria are for. However, I think they are important in their own right.
Unfortunately there are several problems with the criteria. Like how there are several vague criteria. But more importantly, there are several completely unrelated criteria. Some of these are important issues themselves, like accessibility. Some are just stupid, like not allowing the site to recommend SaaSS, when the sites themselves are in fact SaaSS. Some are trying to push unrelated FSF politics -- like "you need to say GNU/Linux when we think you might be talking about a GNU+Linux system, not just Linux". To make that one even worse, it's actually considered *more important* than *accessibility for the handicapped* and *anonymity*. Are you fucking serious, GNU? If I'm supposed to take the criteria seriously, they need to address the actual issue at hand. To give a parallel, if FSF is going to start pushing that awful non-free license they use for documentation and writings with the same strength as they work for free software (ironic, isn't it), I -- and likely several others -- will cease our donating quick as. As it stands now, the criteria are a good start, but worthless. - -- Alexander [email protected] https://secure.plaimi.net/~alexander -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJWJgTAAAoJENQqWdRUGk8B4eoP/RfRueJc4pRjAimJ44FVS4J6 yab8E6XginCNv4MKzX/7KUnU8X207cUMVU4f0MKG8Spw+hzxPQwl0yiDkHHVZ6kQ hg10mfdFKlj7Fkp5qdLhGHgNUK005FA9Qj8HTB87pmlZ4ujXnKHLilaPuhLajY50 AXvlFzfPamb59GhM+fRzNxSMe1hlyV0UoNp4CIsNrkmmtGCdNZwr7ZfxIseTipex b9ssWtC12BGopIwsJGcdt31zJOIPin4SYlhqXHiM3cw+Ckwdxl+HMJkM7dNozEOB Xuj4SjI9JV80sNwNKzIzchJxxJ/KFSiFsakJjOXIT2C5VQvk0Qm3sWAacVLVN7Gz 65Y6uNYBroCsH3ngvOZTMvQLbDNzl9+nytoJ3DU8LGXatFxLCL3dEToekltz2tf7 qE8cMosLdX4OZWOH3TqfYBTEZzFzOFya/KubpoJuF6gAr8fYahHwuW05IHqHI+D8 1NR3Fap8m52kLcPwr4p+A3BATN0EsEEOG/uV74BEmTtxjecMXIxaINnVZ7Xm9AFJ xtWSAoQNz1Xtye6sfh4MlfthcifmQufgTiHHwJ/B5qhKAAG7qD6GYRp95mzp71RK UuD4uQuQPnA+5TfC9OsOPA0ecryTYSZDQpwUGEfXzH9J65kbG5+LRYvDoAN4oOaj U6lOX3Da8kJYcS7+4psz =W24s -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
