I propose we replace the current listing with (a) nothing or (b) some pie diagram with companies/institutions contributions (git log, or what best addresses the need) to the project.
Nothing is a little harsh. A tombstone would be better. For example, "We no longer list support providers, as this list was being used to exclude people from bidding on projects, and declaring themselves official or registered partners when Koha never had such a program or status. The list's purpose was to provide an easy list of people in various countries, not give any status to them or statement of quality about them. If you wish to see who is active in the community please search: - bugs.koha-community.org for submissions and comments by that person or company. - dashboard.koha-community.org for people who demonstrate themselves active in the community. - and if you are technical, feel free to look through the git log of the koha project cloneable from git://git.koha-community.org/koha.git We apologize for any inconvenience, but such ongoing, gross misrepresentations of the list required this list to be removed." The problem with (b) is it still provides a way for people to misrepresent. A variation on (a) in the only way. GPML, Mark Tompsett
