[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Proposed change in Vendor Listing Policy

[Sharp, Chris]

As someone pointed out before, this language was a holdover from the Koha site policy that was the model for our own.  Here is their wording (from http://koha-community.org/support/paid-support/how-to-get-listed/):

"Companies must show their support of the Koha Community by adding a visible link to the Koha community website at http://www.koha-community.org to their Koha offering web page."

Slight difference in their wording and ours:

"Companies and non-profit organizations providing Evergreen services must take the following steps to be added to the Evergreen Paid Support Services page:" ... 

"Show support for the Evergreen community by adding a visible link on their Evergreen offering page to the Evergreen community web site at http://evergreen-ils.org"

I would be curious to know if the Koha community uses their policy to enforce particular content (beyond the link back) on each vendor's web site.

Thanks,

Chris
