Is the distinction that you are trying to make between projects that embed Geronimo vs. those that provide functions (such as plugins) that are installed on top of Geronimo? Could an entity provide both and get listed in each location for the same general project?
Yes, that was the initial thought... Sort of along the "Eclipse Ready" and "Built on Eclipse" programs - http://www.eclipse.org/legal/logo_guidelines.php http://www.eclipse.org/artwork/
For example, an entity that provides a payroll solution could create a plugin to install that solution on an existing Geronimo server instance. They might also create a simple assembly that has the plugin pre-installed for uses to download as a turn-key solution. Would they register under the "Ready for", "Powered by" or both?Perhaps we could integrate both of these concepts into one idea by simply calling out a page to list entities that provide some level of integration with Geronimo (i.e. Geronimo Partners?). They could provide a one line description of their offering and a link to a page they own providing more detail on their level of integration (be it by providing Plugins, embedding a G server, providing support, whatever...). I'm just thinking out load and not completely sold on this idea of combining the lists myself ... just trying to eliminate some ambiguity (and perhaps creating more :-) ). Thoughts?
Hmmm - interesting compromise. I was going for the idea of "Geronimo Ready" as a way to help promote/evangelize Geronimo and projects that support it, so maybe a generic "Supports Geronimo" or "Geronimo Partner" logo and page with a quick summary on their offering would suffice for now.
