Agreed, Robin and Galen. While it is a personal inclination to have more community info, it doesn't necessarily make sense to require certain content (other than the link) in the first place. As Galen points out, we really don't want this list to represent any endorsement, and the more rules we have, the more likely it is to be interpreted as such. I suppose, at the end of the day, the onus is on clients to figure out their needs. Even if companies represent themselves as "endorsed", "official", or "registered", I suppose all we can do is state on the Paid Support page that no such status exists. As I mentioned in my original email, Interleaf certainly has a +1 from me. On a related note, the list might be due for a prune. I don't think "Mill Run Technology Solutions" is in operation anymore? Or at least, their website appears defunct. -David -----Original Message----- Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2014 21:47:33 -0700 From: Galen Charlton <gmc@esilibrary.com> To: Robin Sheat <robin@catalyst.net.nz> Cc: Koha-List <koha@lists.katipo.co.nz> Subject: Re: [Koha] FW: Request to be added as Koha Support Provider Message-ID: <CAPLnt67-CPGyrtoB7FLr8vjQv84n9wYqkrH41e-nSx_vU8DjcA@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi, On Sun, Jun 29, 2014 at 7:59 PM, Robin Sheat <robin@catalyst.net.nz> wrote:
I'm not convinced we can reasonably justify forcing people to make editorial changes to their content though. Though a "nice to have" would be linking images of the logo back to the community site, I think there's risk in becoming too rulesy.
I agree. The support provider listing is not meant to be any sort of endorsement whatsoever, so as long as applicants meet the stated rules, they'd get a +1 from me.
