Hi, I'l try to sum up the status as of now:
I built an little application, that should make it a lot easier to process new list-applications in the future, as it automates some of the steps necessary to verify a new server. At the moment it has the following features: * form for server-admins to register their servers * automatic sending of verification-email with verification-link to proove email-address is real * basic check if server is reachable * check for SRV-records * check for StartTLS/SSL (this is a bit unreliable at the moment and would have to be improved) * export of list ready to import into the current wordpress-table-format on xmpp.org I asked if this application could be deployed to the server that hosts xmpp.org so that it could be integrated in to the page (http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/operators/2011-September/001219.html). No answer on that so far. Regarding the list itself and new applications to it: We processed all new applications (until today) into this application and also marked old, non-responding server as not-verified there. I exported the updated list and imported it to the xmpp-wordpress. After this I asked if somebody could approve this and make it public, but as of now, nobody did (see http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/operators/2011-September/001220.html). No reaction to this so far. The update doesn't include new applications, because email and xmpp-address verification is still to be done here. For this purpose there was a blogpost planned to inform people about a (mass) email to be sent out and from which email this would come to prevent misunderstandings (we cannot use a xmpp.org email-address). I prepared this blogpost and sent out a request for it to be proof-read (http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/operators/2011-September/001218.html), again without any reaction. That's about it.
