I would prefer banning all mention of paid support services from the community website to the nonsensical treatment which has come regarding listing support service companies in the past year. I am not recommending such a ban but merely identifying what a problem the issue has been.
I like Chris's idea better. List everyone who applies, without judgment. Maybe even randomize the list on each view. I believe that removing the vendor list would definitely hurt the project itself. Right now, if a library is interested, they have one page where they can find every koha vendor ( at least all the one's serious enough to get listed. )
Just to add another idea about the organization of the vendor listing page - why not create a map - then it's not random and it's not alpha - you zoom into your country and see who's there - just an idea since I just finished teaching my mashups workshop and we talked about map mashups :)
The very thing we should avoid is grandfathering, meaning exempting, anyone from the rules. Any rules worth having are rules which should be applied equally to all.
As long as Liblime is the only entity with complete control over koha.org, that's not going to happen.
The idea is that this is going to change - we're going to form a committee and work with the group we choose in the survey to control Koha assets. Nicole
