I would like to point out that listing on the Koha Community web site by any company does not confer any sort of "certification." It merely means that a company has requested a listing, and met the minimum requirements to be listed (the request represents a current proffer of Koha services [1]). A disclaimer has been added to the directory [2] to this effect. Requirements, of course, are open to discussion at any general IRC meeting, they just need to be added to the agenda.

I see that "legitimate" was in the original proposal adopted at http://stats.workbuffer.org/irclog/koha/2010-05-05#i_434754 but seems to have got lost before making it to the page. Would the koha-community site really list (say) fraudsters who make a current proffer of Koha service? Does anyone mind if we reinstate that? I've added it to http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/General_IRC_Meeting,_2_August_2011#Agend... and seeing as I've opened the discussion, I've proposed Mason's suggestion from koha-devel on there too. Whether or not that's the case, who else (supporters or buyers) would be interested in a support provider mutual certification scheme and what would you want from it?
