I mostly just read this list but I thought I'd comment on this subject. I think this should be put to a vote. I think Chris has spelled out three good categories. It might be that there are one or two more categories. Just add those suggestions in the next day or two and then put out a poll.

Hi All A proposal, for voting on. 1/ make the listing criteria more stringent + move the list off the main site to its own thing. Or we just make it more official and increase all the problems. So move it off the site and make it 'the community managed list'. Or some other name. But make

Vinod, This already exists and is auto-generated for each release. For 17.05, https://koha-community.org/koha-17-05-released But, as said previously by others, 1 != 1 and there are much more than just writing patches in a community daily tasks. Regards, Jonathan On Thu, 10 Aug 2017 at 07:15

Re: [Koha] How to handle the support providers list (was Re: Spam from BestBookBuddies (OpenLX))

Hi I think we can make a parameter like the company who have submitted at least five patch/new code for major active release oldoldstable, oldstable and stable will be only listed. For example if a company has five code/patch in 16.5 than he may be listed continuously up-to 17.5 once 17.11
