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.

I think I last mailed asking about it, about 1 month ago...
But time is still ticking and there's no visible progress.
And at the cost of wearing a "Troll Mask".
I'd like to know exactly what's the real _showstopper_ here.
I think I discussed the same argument with Ludovic one month ago,
he
hoped
as I did that within October this would get sorted.
But I reluctantly observe that it's always just a few responses
then back
to
the initial Void.
I'd firmly appreciate that the answer isn't:<< ?time>>; because,
aside
unacceptable, it would be astonishing.
If there's really an objective issue in achieving this *task*, I
guess
it's
really time to _discuss_ about it.

Marco
