Apart from the fact that we do not ask for any skill, but simply list them as "consultants", what is more important for me is that such a list is on the "moderated" d.o space: there is more than a simple "send email here to be added" action or a wiki edit, we (Debian) has to react. Which means that we have ways of checking that the request is not an automatic one. >> > While we can filter vendors that do not sell the last Debian version, there is >> > little added value in manual processing of consultants. >> >> I disagree with any automatic addition to www.d.o, which means that IMHO >> manual processing is always required for consultants/vendors/events/... > > While events/vendors have metrics that allow moderation (does the vendor still > sells up to date Debian), I still wonder what type of moderation can be applied > to consultants beside spam filtering. Not that I want to dig into other people's lives, but some problems linked to vendors apply to consultants as well, e.g. does the consultant who claims to donate to Debian actually do it? I know I am entering a dangerous field, but IMHO this is something that we should pay attention if we want to bless some persons including them in an "official" page. And to be clear: I do not care if it is automatic or not, I would like to have a documented solution which actually takes advantage of the resources that we have (e.g. the BTS as Don suggested). Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
